Last week, when 16 college basketball teams were competing in the NCAA
Tournament, affectionately called, the 'Sweet Sixteen", I proposed on the
Darke Co, OH List that we all submit our choices for our own "Sweet
Sixteen", who happen to be our 16 gg/grandparents. It has been very
successful, in fact, the List is still receiving information everyday
concerning someone's "Sweet Sixteen".
We all have 2 parents, 4 grandparents, 8 gr-grandparents and 16
gr-gr-grandparents. As a large part of us on this List can trace our
ancestry back to Paulus Kusters, it would be interesting to actually see how
we connect. To make it work, everyone has to participate, no sandbagging!
Let the games begin!
