I just looked, and I actually get lost at the great-great-great grandpa level- there is John Irving Taylor son of John Ogden Taylor, son of John L. Taylor, and John L Taylor is where I get lost!
Oh, I wish those council guys would let me have an hour alone in the room with her, if I was larger and had grenades.

The problem in my family is more often each person spelling their own name differently (or using a completely different name) on every document than common names, although there is some of that also. And that's not even the Russians with their four or five interchangeable names each, guessing at the spelling in another alphabet. At least the patronyms are informative with them.

I am greatly aided in my genealogy by a lot of my lines going back to very early colonial Massachusetts. Those people are very well documented (I guess Puritan churches kept great records), and a lot of people have already done all the work in the 19th century when everyone was all romantic about Pilgrims.

I think I just need to a) pay for international Ancestry.com or b) find some free resources for Scotland/England.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Note to self: make sure the bottle of Coke is 100% shut before you put it in your purse. Fortunately, it was only 1% of a disaster, but still.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of Russians, I was pretty excited when a coworker Nataliya signed her email Natasha!
In other work news, my job is so full of fuckery, my colleague just suggested we set up a counter like they have for the national debt, because it just keeps going up. This is why I'm inclined to apply for jobs I may or may not want!

Jesse, I want that counter.
Every person in my family is having some sort of mood today. It's exhausting.

Nice, Jesse. Not the fuckery. How do you count fuckery? Can we monetize this counter?
Ugh, Dana. The call and the Coke.
I just got email advertising international ancestry.com and was wondering if it was worthwhile. By "just" I mean in the last couple of months.

Well, there's always another incident.
Can we monetize this counter?
OMG, that's how we can quit!! You are a genius.

Dang, I went and looked out a window and it's too foggy to see the highway. That's basically the other side of our parking lot.
