[quote=Anonymous]Yes, ancestors on my father's side came over on the third voyage from England after the Mayflower (I believe in 1636). My family is remarkably undistinguished for having been here for so long. One guy who was supposed to sign the Declaration of Independence had to go home early because someone in his family got sick. One distant cousin, however, was a first lady, as I learned in junior high upon seeing her picture in my history textbook. The caption said she was "renowned for her great beauty." Alas, those genes were not passed down to me.... I also have a friend who is involved in DAR, and I have thought about joining because the charitable work they do in the areas of literacy and civic education appeals to me. But it does seem somehow anti-American to base an organization's membership on ancestry. [/quote]
