I agree. What's a grown up? And, I also belong to the McLaughlin list. The past few days they have criticized each other, warned the list about other members and all because some shared information and did get 'enough' in return...whew...whining, whining and not nice. In the discussion of blood over choice, I'll share another issue that came to me a few times. My mother's father was from Avoyelles Parish. Now, that parish doesn't have a monopoly on this, but there was, in previous generations, a not 'uncommon' occurance of children born of white owners and household help or farm workers. To some credit, the stories I heard from my mother (I'm 64) and others her generation is that these children were raised along with the owner's children, sharing SOME, but not all, of the advantages, at least medical and often, education. They were NOT publically acknowledged as their 'children' but were cared for. I have had, a few times, someone call me from those lines and say...I am the granddaugther or g-grandson of XXXXX, that I see on your genealogy is your grandfather or g-grandfather. Okay...I had no problem with that and told them all, if you can provide me the proof of that linage, I will add you to my genealogy wherever you belong. I wouldn't put there anything that I wasn't certain of, not mine or theirs, but with some proof, like you would any line, I would have gladly done that. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has experienced this, and to me, it was kinda cool. :>) At 11:02 AM 4/5/2008 -0400, you wrote: >Who in the world told you we were grown-ups?
