Reply #47: what's this now??

Booted from DU?! Moi?? Never!! No, I was booted from the other place I'd been finding more fun, so I wandered aimlessly back here. That was a genealogy forum (and I think I may now hold a record there for bannings). Infested by morons. Stupid people of a markedly right-wing bent. Not at all like this place!

If anybody wants any genealogy done while I'm unable to indulge my obsession with the subject elsewhere for this month, lemme know. I'm good. Took me a couple of hours last year to trace one young DUer's roots back to a US revolutionary war soldier, whose gravesite in Kentucky was coincidentally being memorialized that very month, and beyond (a sheriff of Nottingham, in fact! although that work had all been done already, I just hooked her up to it), starting only with her quite mistaken theory that her gr-grfather, whose name she wasn't absolutely clear on, had snuck into the US from England sometime in the late 19th century by posing as the son of people who weren't his parents. No idea where that had come from, but now she's eligible to join the DAR, lucky her, lucky DAR.
