Cool!

I've always thought I'd get into genealogy at some point. I learned, much to my dismay, that it's a hard hobby for a 12-year-old to get into with no car and no money, so I gave it up before I ever really got started, with the intention of picking it up at some later point.

Well, whatdayknow? It seems I no longer need to bother; it's already been done for me. *boggle* I am apparently the great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Jesse Blair and Rebecca Ellington, both born in Virginia and relocating to Kentucky. Such an odd feeling to skim through the names of people I know and realize that I'm a descendent of these people who never had names to me before. I guess that's the general appeal of tracing your family.

Ahh, well, I guess there are other paths to follow if I ever feel the urge again.. :)
