Total Posts: 170 | Ah, what an interesting, yet tough subject...so, anyone know of any cool ancestors? I'm doing a big old genealogy project for English, and my dad has a big old poster of everyone from my dad's mom's side with a LOT of names, just no dates. I'm related to 6 people from the Mayflower. Here are a few names:
Myles Standish (Mayflower)
John Alden (Mayflower)
Francis Cooke (Mayflower)
Sarah Warren
Mary Warren (not quite sure, I'm going by memory)
Elizabeth Warren
Barnabas Cooke (I think the last name's right, nice first name, wouldn't really want to name my kid that, though...)
Myles Standish's kid married John Alden's kid, so that's how they got related. I looked up all the details at familysearch.org (good free site), and I've got all this crap copied and pasted into Word that I have yet to find out what the real dates are (there were at least 2 different entries for a few of them). Getting stuff from my dad's dad's side or my mom's side should be interesting...
Anyone else? |

Total Posts: 170 | I also found out something else that's rather disturbing. The same person who made the poster (my dad's mom's cousin or something) also found out that we're 1st cousins (about 9-10 times removed) of the Bush family. :eek_a: Both related to Francis Cooke I think. Kinda freaky, eh? |

Total Posts: 739 | No, it was easy. Go to Google, do an image search, and hit insert link a couple of times. I just did George Bush cause I was trying to do all the relatives.
BTW, allyn is right, I can't edit my posts after someone has replied to them. |
