Re: Friday Funnies...a bit early



Guilty as charged.  Growing up, we all believe that we had a Cherokee
Princess in our lineage--Princess Parasadie.  Subsequent genealogical
research turned up a great-grandmother who may or may not be cherokee--not
sure about that bit yet--but her name was Parasada. Further investigation
revealed that "Princess" was her father's pet name for her.  Shows the
things memory and the passage of time can do to your family history.

Now on to that story about being related to an illegitamate son of Henry
VIII.......
