A Day For Dead Relatives

Man, today must be some day. It would have been my grandma's dad's 99th birthday if he were still alive and my grandma's going to one of her aunts' funerals tomorrow. And I blogged about Shappees long departed a few minutes ago. Maybe the old adage, "If you want to know what a girl's going to be like when she's old, take a look at her mother." applies to me.
I would know nothing about dear old Dad's side of the family if my mom weren't into stalking her dead relatives on Ancestry. She followed my line all the way back to New York and found out that they were French barkeeps. It's actually kind of neat.  She's even traced us back to Henry the 8th.
Not that I would mind following in my mother's footsteps
