I'm really getting into this family stuff but find myself still incredibly stupid. I do believe that the practice of genealogy is 'disturbing the dead and irritating the living' so I have been going real slow as I really don't want to irritate or offend some of the really hard working researchers. But I do have some questions that I just don't know-for instance I have found an ancestor, Capt. Jonathan Whitney also know as Dea. Jonathan Whitney. What does the Dea. mean? Then this is just a "What do you think?" I have been watching the PBR (Professional Bull Riding) at Worcester, Mass. I can't help but wonder what our hard working and probably stately Whitney ancestors would think of making money riding bulls! Also how do you pronounce Worcester? The announcer says-Wooster like rooster. Sorry I know the last one is dumb. Rose Zella
