Your American Story

I can't top that one.

According to some of my relatives on my father's side, I can trace a line back to the Mayflower, but I haven't seen the documentation on that one. (Whenever I mention it, someone invariably says "oh EVERYone says that!")

Somewhere on a limb of my family tree is William Jennings Bryan. I am less certain, but I hear that Gen. George Pickett of Pickett's charge is distantly related, but again, no documentation.

Chris' much more recent story is a lot easier to relate to, and pretty damn keen.
