Default Not all cool... unfortunately...

But also, that is just on one side, on the other, I go back to "Lucy".

Now, as a Son of the Mayflower, do we have to address you as Sir, or something???

I think you are right about the Sea Change, but, before it settles down, there will be blood in the streets. The long hot summer has just begun.
Hi Gordon,

Such an ancestry is not all rosy...

My subsequent research (today) makes it look like Resolved White was involved in plantations in the West Indies - which would probably have involved slavery. His father-in-law (William Vassal) became a big plantation owner there.

So yeah, that part is not pretty, and not cool.

So no need to call me "sir" - just don't blame me for the sins of my ancestors!

On the "plus" side, Geni also tells me I'm the 12th cousin of Muhammad Ali!

(You can get lost looking this stuff up...!)

Time to float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee!

Best wishes,

Dien
