Oh, come on, ya'll, get out of the 1950s. In this day, there are single parents, sperm banks, gay marriages, cloning, etc. Genealogy is about telling the truth and showing proof, geez, just made a rhyme. rofl We all work so hard to make sure we have the right information on everything else. Shoot , just put in the mother and if you know the father , put him in, don't worry about a marriage licence. So much of the time we don't have those for the ones who did marry. So our ancestors weren't perfect, neither are we. Quit tiptoeing around about descretions over 100 years ago. Tis a better subject than the wars in mho. I know, wars are a part of genie too. I just don't like to think about them. I have such a delicate personality. (Now really on the floor laughing) Sorry for being so blunt but I just came in from weedeating(not my favorite job) and I am sweaty, itchy, and the other itchy word. The one with the B. Gracie hoping I don't get banned for this one. ----- Original Message ----- From: "suebod" <suebod@tampabay.rr.com> To: <WVLOGAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 20, 2006 8:09 AM Subject: [WVLOGAN] Secrets > The elders may want to keep this stuff hidden in the closet but if their > child needed a kidney transplant or a full medical history would save a > grandchild, and these are things I've run into helping other families, bet > grandma would spill the beans as to who's the daddy. > > When you're 65, you don't want money from your 89 year old biological > father, but you would like to know if he and all his family had diabetes, > gout or heart disease. > > Sue > > > At 09:28 PM 6/19/06 -0700, you wrote: > >>>One of my Logan Co. gg grandfathers had a child born to a young lady > >>>prior to 1861 - maybe late 1850s.

Weed eat on, Gracie!!! ;o) I'm with you!

My Aunt asked my Great Aunt if she could ask her some questions about her life. She said, "I'll tell you anything you want to know. I am not always proud of what I've done but I did it. I wont hide it. The only person I have to worry about is God and I can't hid it from Him, he already knows." I'm with her! Peggy
