[QUOTE="witzend, post: 612030, member: 99"] I joined thinking that I wasn't going to renew it after the free week a bit ago, and then forgot to cancel it. So, I have an account which I was [I]going to[/I] close today, but decided I would go and do a quick family tree before I did. I found the name that we lost when the family came from Austria. I also found how husband's mother [I]really could be[/I] adopted. I mean, what man and woman are married in 1920 and have no children until 1939 whereupon they promptly move from Illinois to Oregon and spoil her to death? husband always said "No, my grandpa doesn't have any siblings!" I kept telling him that he must have had [I]cousins[/I]. Somehow he can't figure that relationship out - with ANYONE. But the entire family is the spitting image of his grandfather. Sure as shooting, Grandpa's father had 3 sisters. They had children. Grandpa's Mother had a brother. He had children. And they were Irish Catholic as in her father was born in Ireland. So, 5 hours later, I got "I [I]told you[/I] so!" [/QUOTE]
