Are you illiterate or did you just post in haste?
No! I am dyslexic but your unkindness is not going to shame me from posting!
There is room on this planet for all of God's children!
Must be some stiff, stilted British pick-up line that the rest of the planet can't understand.
I don't know sounds like it...
But than what's in your family tree!:) LOL
It's hard to determine my family tree. While some people agressively persue marrying into notable families and getting that surname, our family appears to be a collection of people trying very hard to get rid of their surname.
Oh well! :-)
GENEALOGY n. ... In the English-speaking world, all those who take up this pursuit announce sooner or later that they can trace their descent back to Edward III. This should surprise no one with a rudimentary knowledge of mathematics; there are probably one or two well-bred basset hounds who could also trace their descent back to Edward III. What is really surprising is that Edward III seems to be regarded as some kind of ultimate antecedent beyond whom the genealogist does not venture, even though anyone descended from Edward III is also descended from his father Edward II, and so on. The author can guess only that the prudery of the late Victorian age (when genealogy became a family pastime) chose to draw a veil before the memory of Edward II in view of the sybaritic Plantagenet’s bisexual reputation and appalling death (see impalement)..

LOL! Good grief, what were you using that day?????
If you must join the johnny one note posters!
Now this thread on Geneology was not ment to be a place for the inconsiderate to vent......but you are one among many who have no boundary if it feels good do it!
so now what do I do to seek out those after they read all of the silliness going on here!
No, it's actally Monarchial code. Unscrambled it really means..."Hey, let's not waste a perfectly good mutant gene" ;-)
That sounds like it!
They needed a genealogist for this??! The old-fashioned, Mark I Eyball could have told them that.
It is fun to go back to serveral generation and so much is being harvest everyday of one family history!
You will read things that will make you smile, laugh, cry, or understand some of your mannerisms...some of you will feel so proud for those who enduring and had they not you might NOT be here today!
(Takes bow) But series, she did look tons better, maybe I'm a romantic at heart:^).
I know this. I'm making a joke. Take it easy.
You must be a Celine Dion fan.
To be honest I have little use for pop culture!
David Icke is part of popular culture?
We're doomed.
No one will be dissuaded by a few jokesters lightening up the topic. Anyone here as long as you should've realized by now that any topic that doesn't have someone hopping mad will make for a thread of 90% silliness, 10% seriousness.
And look at it this way - if we weren't tacking our posts onto your thread, it'd be buried by now.
