Jack's My Hero

Yes, he's done it again =D>

Jack sent me some more details about descendants of one of my lines all dating after the cut off point for online.

One of my lines seemed to be great sticklers with the naming patterns and, more often than not, using ancestors names for middle names.

One particular set of children in the "package" from Jack are a veritable "potted history" of their ancestors, their first and middle names all coming from previous rellies, some from two or more generations back.

It was like getting clear confirmation that I'd not gone off the track anywhere. [woohoo]

Thanks Jack [scotland-flag]
