Oh no Janice, I find all that stuff very interesting and right up my alley. In fact just this past week I looked up and found the grave of my great grandfather in Kentucky. You talk about family history. Listen to this. My sisters mother-in-law, (mother-in-law now deceased) is from an unusual family. It goes like this. William Riley Lee as a young man fought in the Civil War alongside his dad. After the war he married this woman and they had 12 kids, this woman died in 1899, in 1905 at age 57 he married a 24 year old woman and they had 8 more kids. My sisters mother-in-law is from the second set of kids. There is only 1 surviving son from the second set and all of the first set have long since died since they were born in the 1880's and 1890's. Anyway, the 24 year old woman he married, who was my sisters mother-in-laws mom died around 1980 and she drawed her deceased husbands Civil War Pension until the day she died. One of the daughters of one of the men from the second set of kids is into genealogy and I am interested in it too and we talked for a long time about it. These folks are from the same hollow that I am from in Kentucky. This grandaughter has the family bible along with the discharge papers and all kinds of other documents. She also has a newspaper article telling about this guys dad (William Riley Lees dad) being shot and killed by a man and that man convicted of the murder. Here they both went through the Civil War and then the father ends up getting shot and killed by some scoundrel. Anyway, I think all of that is interesting.
