I don't know any of the people involved in this discussion, but these types of emails push the envelope of courtesy in these "geneaology" discussions. Craig, I would love to hear more about your Blackwell studies. I'm sure you have terrific proof of all your other forefathers/mothers. And truly, I don't care if there's a will or not. I would just like to know who begat who and if there's extra info on them, yeah! I'm far more interested in those who came from lower means because I have a feeling that's where my ancestors will fall. Everyone seems to have famous roots and that's just great. But I'm very intrigued by the great stories that some of our illustrious, notorious kin left behind. My 4th great-granduncle was the last man hanged in Wise County, Virginia. Now THAT's interesting!
