I guess the Pilgrims didn't have much else to do but make babies. Of course, making them with your sister isn't really my idea of a good time. ;)<BR/><BR/>My family has pretty generic names.

My favorite Finnish name--which I so badly wanted to name my daughter--is Aili. We called Eugenia 'Jean' and Aili 'Alice.'<BR/><BR/>My daughter is into the whole genealogy thing big-time and is trying to do both my family AND my husband's. Her biggest problem is not being able to read the Finnish language. I am a second-generation American, so there isn't a whole lot of info here in the US.cmkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17984250869194585666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18879154.post-9263770535193501072008-09-24T15:46:00.001-04:002008-09-24T15:46:00.001-04:00meghan -- yeah, remember when we talked about this...meghan -- yeah, remember when we talked about this before? you have a super-cool family history, full of outlaws and gangsters!!! i bet, on the census, it says under occupation: "inmate" or "questionable".
