'Not really meaning to use bandwidth irresponsibly, but I'm kinda curious and ready for an "end-of-the-year" break from conventional genealogical research...(if you haven't concluded before now that I'm up against a roadblock in my own legitimate REEVES research, this will help...) Does anyone know anything of the ancestry of the following 4 "famous" REEVES's? 1. Jim REEVES, the ledgandary country music recording artist, 2. Dan REEVES, the NFL coach, currently unemployed, 3. Kenau (sp?) REEVES, the "generation X" movie actor, 4. "Big Country" REEVES, NBA player, former Oklahoma State University basketball standout. NFL coach Dan REEVES, I know, is originally from SC where many early REEVES's were from. Singer Jim REEVES, I suspect, lived in the TN/KY region. "Big Country" REEVES is probably *from* Oklahoma (imagine that!). I know absolutely nothing about the young (and good-looking, I'm told, although I've never seen even one of his movies, at least that I know of) Kenau REEVES. Actually, while this query is clearly frivolous, I *am* asked rather routinely whether I'm "related" to one or more of these 4 guys and I'm sick and tired of saying; "I don't know." I suspect that many of you likewise are asked the same question? Where did these 4 guys come from, anyway? Anyone know? Greg Reeves REEVES-L Listowner greg@rapidnet.com ------------------------------
