where am I from

My Dad, in his later years, got very into our family genealogy.  Evidently we go back to the Mayflower. We also had generals fighting in the Civil War for both the North and the South.

For Christmas one year, my daughter Allison bought me an account on Ancestry.com

I look at it every now and then. But they sent a recent update. Here is where I am from;
and if you click on the links, it will show you the general areas...

So I have a friend that tells me that I am all over the place... here, there, this idea, this topic and then suddenly onto the next.

The above family tree may explain everything.  I am a mutt.  I am from everywhere.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to be the good.
