re: #271 ProGunLiberal

My Granddad retired when I was 5, and since then has been doing genealogy work.

Sad thing is, My 3x Great-Grandfather outlived her daughter and husband. She died 1918 (Spanish Flu?), and the husband survived, but broken. Fell into despair and alcoholism, he died after being arrested for being Drunk and Disorderly, and falling off the prison ship drunk.

My Granddad would be born just 7 years after my 3x Great-Grandfather died.

Ah crazy then. What’s weird about my gene pool is how old my ancestors are. I’m only 25 yet my Dad’s Mom would be 100 this year. Call that the product of being the son of a youngest child who married late. I really want to find out more and through some research I have. Even got to see the home where my Dad’s Dad grew up in Pittsburgh when I went up there last year.
