Jonathan, you certainly have an inquiring mind. I'm not near that curious. All I know about grandparents concerns my paternal grandfather who was an American from Min. somewhere. I have always felt he likely dashed across the border in a hail of gunfire to avoid the law.
Your dorky trick is awesome.

My dad always told us we shouldn't look to far into our family tree because we might find a horse thief, lol. I've done a little looking anyway and found out I'm mainly descended from a bunch of ornery old Scotch Irish on my dad's side and a bunch of Germans on my mom's side. No wonder I always seem to find myself in opposition to someone or something, ha, ha. My wife's family was much more entertaining in heritage, she's descended from Tennessee moonshiners on one side and a former Yankee officer on the other. Good thing I didn't know about the Yankee lineage before I married her, my family might have prevented the marriage.

Many of my relatives still refer to the U.S. Civil War as "The War of Northern Aggression."
