Happy Easter

Happy Easter everyone, it might not have been the best Easter for my great great grandmother though. I might be "getting my hopes up" but, I could be related to a woman accused of riding a cow to Blåkulla. Blåkulla is where witches went to celebrate the Witch Sabbath with the Devil. I have to start checking for facts... I won't mind having a witch in the family, knock on wood. But if that story is true I could also have Finnish blood in me.

Genealogy only sets you up for disappointment. You want to be related to cool historical people but in the end it's a bunch of farmhands and maids and you feel, "But I am too cool for that, surely there's a pirate in there somewhere. Or a Russian spy..." but there isn't. I am the result of a long line of farmhands and maids and a few of them born out of wedlock.
