Years ago, I was faced with the decision of a lifetime - how honest must I be with my fiancee? I went to my pastor and confided in him, the sordid story of my ancestry, and the fear of it's revalation upon my beloved.
My ancestors included Confederates, a yankee, numerous murderers, rapists, arsonists, a pedophile, congressmen and lawyers.
He advised me not to tell her about the yankee.
