I Am Not a Crook

Sometimes you discover that you're related to people you'd rather not be related to. Here's a valid relationship between me and Richard Nixon.

Deborah Lockwood and her husband William Ward are my great9 grandparents. Deborah was born in Watertown Massachusetts in 1636 [see The Hanging of Goodwife Knapp in 1653]. William Ward was born in Fairfield Connecticut in 1631. Deborah's mother was Susanna Norman. There must be a million descendants of the Norman, Ward and Lockwood families. They're all related to Richard Nixon so I'm in good company.

Actually, when I met you I was reminded of RM Nixon...

Send me the names and birth dates of your grandparent and great-grandparents and I'll post a list of people you are related to.

I guarantee that you'll be impressed! (and I'll have a rich source of future postings)

Come on, I double-dare you! :-)

How are you supposed to know your great-grandparents birth dates?

Ask your grandparents?

I like how Richard's mother, Hanna Millhouse, is listed without a date of death.

She lives on, reminding us all of the dangers of high political office!
