no joke here, my x-wife was born in kentucky and one time decided to chart her family tree. She reached a stopping point where she couldn’t go any further and couldn’t figure it out, wasnt very far in either. This stopping point was on both sides with the same name, It didn’t dawn on her but I caught it right away. It was the same name because it was the same person. She did say her parents had the same last name, wouldn’t that be the first clue (in the words of jeff foxworthy) that -“your family tree doesn not fork”. Guess they are 3rd cousins to each other or something. My first comment was did they meet at a family reunion? It was about the time foxworthy was really big too. Hilarious.
