But do yall compare family trees on public conveyances with rank strangers?

And do you all understand the difference between a first cousin, first cousin once removed and second cousin??? If you do , you have Louisiana roots, trust me on that.

Our strangers aren't rank....They're family members who just smell that way!

My first cousin once removed, is my cousin's son. Who is my son's second cousin.

My father's first cousin once removed is Woodrow Wilson Crumbo, an American Indian painter.....Though none of our family is NA, except my son who can trace his (blue eye/blond) roots back to Pocahontas.....

Think he could get a professorship?

I don't have any roots in Louisiana, but I know the difference between first cousins, first cousins once removed, second cousins, etc. One of my favorite teachers was my first cousin twice removed. And I have one set of first cousins who are also my third cousins. You can "decode" this, I'm sure, even though you're not from North Carolina.
