I have a few odd ones in my family. My brother (David Guardino), for instance,
is an internationally famous phychic! Yikes! (He's NOT for real, or course.
Just makes a lot of money.) On the other hand, I am the descendant of portraint
painter Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Whenever I get smug about finding information about one of
myancestors I recall this little poem written by some unknowngenealogist.
"IF" If you could see your ancestors,all standing in a row.Would you
be proud of them,or don't you really know? Some strange discoveries
are made,while climbing family trees.And some of them you know,do not particularly
please. If you could see your ancestors,all standing in a row.There
might be some of them perhaps,you wouldn't care to know. But there's
another question,which requires another view.If you could meet your ancestors,would
they be proud of YOU? Richard C. Smith<a href="mailto:E-mailto:slugs@gorge.net">E-mailto:slugs@gorge.net</a>Home
