My wife started down that rabbit hole, I laughed.
Turns out she can trace her father's line all the way back to before coming from Ireland and landing in America in the early 1600's. Males in the family fought as officers in the Revolutionary war and the Civil War.
She's actually eligible for membership in both the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the United Daughters of the Confederacy.
Me? I'm just a mutt.

Yr not a "Mutt" just a 'lostchild'.
