Deb, Here is an article about the Black Sheep Society (yes, there is a genealogical group devoted to "black sheep" in the family"!) http://www.lvrj.com/lvrj_home/1998/Jul-03-Fri-1998/news/7787337.html and at the society's main page, you can read about "black sheep" 'til the cows come home (or should I say, sheep come home)! http://blacksheep.rootsweb.com/1degree.htm It is a wide page, so you will need to scroll right to see the links chart. Have fun! Bonnie Bonnie Fletcher Eggert Home Page: Genealogy in the Genes! http://hometown.aol.com/blgert
