Ancestors
In case you are not aware of how many grandparents you have I would like to add this about ancestors. We all have two parents and four grandparents. Now if you follow your genealogy back you will find that with each generation you will double the number of grandparents. If you go back 5 generations, the amount that we see the photo’s of in the newspapers, you will find that you have accumulated 28 grandparents. Now continue this back a total of 20 generation about 400 years to the time the Pilgrims landed, and you will now have 1,048,576 grandparents. You can appreciate how difficult it is to follow some of these back, specially the women, because of the name changes.

About Me
- Vay
- I enjoy working and traveling. I have worked my entire life and have traveled as much as I possibly could. At one time, for a few years, I did have the good fortune to travel while working. That for me was the best of both worlds. I would still love to travel more but I guess those days are behind me now. I will still try to travel as much as I possibly can even though it will not be as much as I would want it to be. Now in the retirement years of my life I do look forward to spending the cold Michigan winters in a warmer place, free from Snow and Ice.
