Also, naming conventions: have changed over time; vary from culture; and from even from family to family.<br /><br />American culture(s) have gone through a lot of change - with no end in sight. Which, in some ways is good news.<br /><br />I haven't seen photos (and would appreciate a link) - but remember what our family is like. And we're a fairly homogeneous set of Celto-European Americans. If that wasn't a word before: it is now.<br /><br />Wait another few generations, and our family reunions will look like a U.N. meeting.Brian H.

Then I saw a picture. I'm pretty sure they aren't related by blood.<br /><br />Cute girl, too. I hope she doesn't become too jaded from this incident.Brigidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03796317915330760325noreply@blogger.com
