Oh yes...love family history. My maternal side is really something. Hunter Robinson began the journey in 1821. He was born in Pennsylvania, but was a drover/cattle agent. His wife, sister and mother in-law ran a store in Chambersburg, Pa. before moving to Baltimore in the late 1840s when the cattle industry moved into town. Hunter drove cattle from as far west as Iowa east to Baltimore. My paternal side basically have worked the railroad from the 1840s until today with a nephew who works on Amtrak...the first to break from freight traffic. My sons work for or at colleges. The youngest has drifted into human resource management while the oldest works in statistics at a college. His company recently found a cure for a childhood disease using statistics. The result was money to secure the company for another 20 odd years. Really crazy stuff for an old man to wrap his brain around.
