I have been amased about the strinth of Genetics I had written to my Grate grand mothers Brothers GGGrandson I was able to meet him a couple of years ago The things I though had come from the Moore family I found were Clayton. When he called be from down town I had no trouble recognizing him. Alos found that his father had made Wooden ortaments. Woodworking does run in the family as a hoby and my Fathers's Uncles Daughter has a business of making wooken Lawn ordaments. but that is not the strangest We went to visit my mother and his Wife looked so much like my Mother She could have been a older Daughter. My Mother was a Rogers and she had Rogers in her family tree but could not connect them but they both had cousins in Nebraska Iowa area named Buridick which is on my Mothers O'Hara family Her grandfathers Sisters Daughter married a Burdich or Burdish it is pronouced with the first spelling her Aunt was the wife of Patrick Connolly both with O and E Which brings me to another Genetic We found a Grandson of Cecilia Connolly living within 60 miles of us and met in a restruant in Tacoma it was crowed but my Mother picked him out as he looked like her family. yes I beleive Genetic's are strong and that over generations we have some of the same trates and sometimes the looks When I see someone that looks like a member of my family I now wonder if they arn't related back in the last couple of hundred years. sorry I don't have spell check on this version of AOL have had lot of computer problems so am back to 3.0 can't even get into some web sites but am on line Patti Moore Lininger Yelm, WA Looking for McGorty that changed there name to Rogers.
