Which Reminds Me

Yes, that was interesting, what I read about Willard Peck Calkins, who anyway is my sixth cousin three times removed so not really any close relationship there, was that his second wife was Adelaide Beckhuson and her picture appears in one of the ancient newspaper articles. Strange that they would have to get married at the American consular office in Japan. Where does the Philippines fit into this picture? I don't understand much about these people who by mere coincidence have the same surname as myself. Why should I trouble myself to figure out all of these extraneous details that have nothing to do with me?
