Our family has been working on genealogy for many many years. When you look into the past generations you get to put names with faces and traits that may or may not have trickled through, thank goodness or not. And learn stories of their struggles and successes. The other day my daughter was looking through one of our lines and all of a sudden blurted out with excitement, "We were destined to be chocolate lovers, we're related to Lady Godiva, it's in our blood!" I was doubled over laughing but finally got the real story out, "Lady Godiva rode out through the town on horseback naked." Me personally I'm partial to the chocolate story and have been for many years. So while our ancestor was a bit risque, for me to be an exhibitionist is out!
