Hello All, 

    Can't help but observe that one thing genealogy has done for myself and a 
great many others is to show the diversity in our own 'Family Trees'.  My 
parents were fairly typical 4th generation  'white' Oregonians with most of the 
usual prejudices: Asians, Blacks, and Indians.  Turns out we have some of all 
of those in our Family, thank God, even a Mormon or two :-).  My paternal great 
Aunt lived to the ripe old age of 105, as of now she has approximately 150 
descendants of just about every ethnic group, religion, or political affiliation 
you can imagine.  I love it!!
