Yes, interesting how my great-great-grandfather was Abner May, who died young after being struck by lightning, whereas Louisa May Alcott's grandfather was a Colonel Joseph May, a Unitarian.
Tracing back our ancestor Abner May, however, I really do not see how we are connected to those other illustrious Mays, we were probably just regular folks. Abner only had one daughter, he did not live very long so there is not much to say about him.
