Obviously, it matters to some people, Sarah, since the question comes up
every few months on this and other lists.  And it is something you need to
understand if you're interested in connections between generations.  Unless,
of course, you're just interested in collecting as many names and dates as
possible without fleshing out who these people were?  And that, is my final
word on the subject.

WHY does all this matter ? It does not solve or help any situation,.  I love
my cousins that I know whether they are 1st, 2nd or many times removed  etc.
I
feel we have  mutual ancestors somewhere in the past. That is all t hat
matters, That and sharing what we know about our kin. This has almost gotten
ridiculous.

My word and most of you have had your word. Let's go on the studying finding
out who, where, and what they did, lived and were. I am full of Virginia
connections and love it. I learned the below quote a long time ago and that
is all
that matters.
To be a Virginian either by birth, marriage, adoption or even on one’s
mothers side is an Introduction to any state in the Union, a passport to any
Foreign
 Country and a Benediction from above
