George begat Philip, Philip begat Elias, Elias begat Michael, Michael begat Ira, Ira begat Cleon and Cleon begat my mom and her brother John. No idea who begat George. My mom's brother John never got around to begatting, but I suspect I've got a third cousin, James, probably a descendant of one of Michael's brothers, who looks and plays piano just like John did.Craighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05061304265345986242noreply@blogger.com
