I know exactly who he is. My family tree is a straight line. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to brush my teeth; ol' chomper needs a scrubbin'.

Though now that this thread inspired me to go through my notes on this subject again, I see I made a little error: they didn't trace us to Abraham, but instead to Noah. Specifically the Finns are descended from Noah's grandson Magog. Oh well. I suppose that explains why we like building wooden boats and sailing them aimlessly around our lakes. Alcohol has nothing to do with the latter. No sirree!

I was always amused by Biblical names that didn't take. We could have mothers naming their boys Magog, Hazarmaveth and Arphaxad.
