Geneaology

So, I am taking a class in American Civil War history. It's fascinating. My teacher knows so much and has all these neat anectdotes. Anyway, that got me interested in joining the UDC (the United Daughters of the Confederacy) I started tracing my family's ancestry. My mother's maiden name is Stovall. I can trace our family all the way back to Bartholomew Stovall born in Surrey, England in 1665. Anyway, I can prove my great, great uncle was a Confederate veteran! So, now I can join the UDC. I also can prove my great, great, great, great, great grandfather, Bartholomew W. Stovall was a Revolutionary War vet. So, I'm going to join the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution) as well. They have a chapter at UT. Anyway, I find all this ancestry "stuff" fascinating. Oh, Bartholomew W.'s great, great nephew was Marcellus A. Stovall, teh Confederate general. Neat, huh?
