Doing my homework ... er ... our ... her homework

SO Iliacat had a little project for her literature group, to make a family tree

she asked if I knew the names of some relatives, and I said that one of the Grand Lunar's relatives is a genealogist, so I went off to dig for the sheets we'd been sent.

And to surf the web trying to find obituaries of my relatives

and I hit TWO jackpots, one on my mom's dad's ancestors - we went back 11 generations (from Iliacat) to the 1600's ...

and then on the Grand Lunar's grandmother's ancestors - I haven't counted back the number of generations, but it goes back to the 1500's in England! Totally cool!

So now I'm taking all that info and ... er ... copying and pasting it into a nice looking but totally useless (unexportable) form.

Someday I'll get be a real program and copy and paste it in a way that would be useful to future research.

But for now ... I'm still in my jammies at 11:30, digging into my children's roots.

For, uh ... our assignment.
