Ancestry/Genealogy

not appreciated. I remember the great grandmother and her oldest daughter discussing their skin problems when I was driving them into town. They were not worried about anything other than how dark they get when they go out in the sun.

Because I did the research most know now but they are not happy about it. I for one am proud to have this history in my family. On one occasion one of the uncles said to me "Be careful what you are doing - you may get surprised at what you find." I laughed and said, "Oh, I have always wanted to find a Jesse James in my family!" I found a lot more than that.

My father always thought we might have some Jewish ancestry but I do not know how to research that. With my luck I would find some damned concentration camp guard instead of someone I could be proud of.
