One cousin I'm not proud of

#1 Post by Bob Juch » Mon Sep 12, 2016 10:19 am

One of my 18th great-grandfathers is Sir Laurence Cheney (c. 1396 – 1461). Dick Cheney is also descended from him.

I'm descended through Elizabeth Cheney (Apr 1422 – 25 Sep 1473) who was the great-grandmother of Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, and Catherine Howard. Dick is descended through her brother John.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Si fractum non sit, noli id reficere.

Teach a child to be polite and courteous in the home and, when he grows up, he'll never be able to drive in New Jersey.

I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
