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
