So finding something on the internet with my living grandpa was really cool. Actually even cooler with my grandma (although she would be scared to know this) because she's never used a computer, and never will. She handwrites cards or uses a typewriter I think. She also has a Rotary Phone that she still uses and that I would like to have or one similar to it one day.
I used it once when I was younger and it really confused me at the time.
Anyway, this made me want to see if there was anything on the grandpa that died in 1968. Having just started a search I found something interesting about someone that was probably somehow related to me. Name was Rundle Palmer..and he died in Ohio...and Arnold Palmer is from Pennsylvania...so we have some Palmer's from Greenwich ending up in the mid-atlantic/midwest where Arnie is from.
My golf game is getting better at the thought that somehow Arnold and I are in the tiniest of ways related.
Honestly if we go back for enough we probably are, but I've never found a link this promising before. Although I love history, I am not the family historian. My Uncle, who is a priest, is the family historian. He's traveled the world and probably could tell me a lot about second and third cousins that I don't know about.
