I don't know a lot about my family. I only met my father's father a couple times; once when I was five and another when I was in junior high. He died my freshman year in college. I knew he had a twin brother, but that's it.

Honestly, I've never been that curious about his side of the family, but this weekend Homer was asking me about them. He then put his genealogy hat on and started tracing my family tree. After a few minutes he told me my grandfather's father's name was Speed. Now that's a soap opera name if I ever heard one.

Speed is engaged to marry Dominique but is secretly having an affair with Jasmine who is married to his brother Lujack who is trying to take over their father's, Harlan, international consulting firm.

He found the above photo of my grandfather's brothers. There were nine of them. I'm not sure if he's in it.

Homer also found out my great great great grandfather died fighting in the Civil War. Fighting for the Confederacy.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
