I have been doing some research on my background of my dads side. I found out that I am part German and Irish. But here is the real kicker, a distant relative of mine used to run with Wild Bill Hickok!:shock: :!:


Now that is pretty cool! :D


Now I know where I get my stronge sense of justice from. :wink:


Cheers,
Nate

That is very interesting. It is amazing the things you learn when you research your family history. My wifes great, great grandfather was Joe LeFors who hunted down the Wild Bunch.

In other words, everybody is somehow related to SOMEBODY we've all heard of :wink:

For instance, with me it's Robert E. Lee, which naturally means I'm related to the Richard H. Lee, one of the signers of the Declaration Of Independence.
