Oh, big deal! I used Ancestry.com only to find out my great, great grandfather was a NYC copperhead who wrote cringing letters to the government to try to get out of fighting for the Union. Yes, I was hoping my great, great grandfather was an upstanding soldier who received the first medal of honor but life has a way of throwing curve balls. Get over it, Ricky!

Perhaps your great-great-grandfather (note lack of commas) had other, better character traits.

Regards,
