I don't know how many generations it would be, but my brother-in-law's
grand parents were on *that ship!


I think Chuck had relates on there too....


I have a great aunt who says one of our ancestors was the individual who
fell off the Mayflower during a storm at sea.

I think the way these family trees go, I probably am also a distant
relative to Barake Obama, Hillary and Bill Clinton, and John McCain.


I'm surprised that Harry didn't try to tell everyone here that his one

made a trans-Atlantic crossing in a runabout and got a fireboat
welcome in NYC!!!
