Yes, that was interesting, back when Ancestry.com had a "Find Famous Relatives" button, to learn that there was some slight connection to various U.S. Presidents, so that actually George Bush might even be my 12th cousin 40 times removed, and that based on my maternal grandmother having a Pierce somewhere in her lineage, while also Barbara Bush was a Pierce. Or did she? It wasn't clear how that could be true. I really don't quite see that. But, yes, how interesting could that be. And there were similar connections to other U.S. presidents and also various famous authors.

Yes, I vaguely remember the existence of Rose as a strangely weird person of no interest to me. I would prefer not to have to claim Rose as even an acquaintance because there was only minimal contact there, I can count on one hand the times of interaction. Always mystifying to ponder why I would have to pay for the crimes of these nasty Wilson broomsticks. You have failed to kill the nasty Wilson broomsticks in the way that you were ordered, so now there is no end of the mischief that can be wreaked by these evil wicked Wilson broomsticks. But who dares to question the arrogant snooty powerfully wicked Wilsons? Certainly not poor little me. Knowing what I know now, I would certainly recommend avoiding all contact with them.

Yes, in all of my extensive "Calkins" research I have yet to find any "Call" in my family tree, sorry about that Florida-based kin of Walt Disney, I don't think we are related. How is that a problem?

Which Reminds Me

Yes, there is something a bit pathetic about basing your entire self-esteem on whether you have some bit of ancestry in common with Walt Disney, not that he wasn't a great American, but there are many great Americans. I wish Ancestry still had their "Find your Famous Relatives" button because when they had that, it brought up some interesting points of distant cousinship, although I do not remember Disney appearing in mine.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, I am somewhat astonished at the level of malice emanating from your so-called Disney Princess, which happens when you always think that you cannot be wrong, but whatever, who am I to say what your faith should be based upon. I prefer to believe that the Word of God is the only thing that I need for life and work, but you obviously have brought other unforeseen complications into the picture that we cannot simply ignore. We may have to prosecute evil Beth eventually, but I cannot say what for. I will let the proper authorities figure that out.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, when is the last time I ever went to Disney World? It has probably been at least 25 years, although I have been to Epcot and MGM more recently. Probably I wouldn't recognize the place. I here that many of the familiar rides have changed or been removed and others added. But at a time when there is no surplus money for Disney, probably I have other priorities than the superfluous trivial frivolities of Disney. Certainly that is not my religion.

Which Reminds Me

Yes, in researching the existence of Helen Calkins, we found another Lot option, the question of whether Bella, whose name appears on the census records, is her own mother and father's wife, or is the census taker confused. I think probably the latter, because the mother is a Lock, but anyway the census record is not clear.
