Not to hijack your thread, but I got this about 10 minutes ago:
It's all in "how" you say it ...
Political Spin
Judy Wallman, a professional genealogical researcher, discovered that Hillary Clinton's great-great uncle, Remus Rodham, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows. On the back of the picture is this inscription: "Remus Rodham; horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.
Judy e-mailed Hillary Clinton for comments. Hillary's staff of professional image adjusters sent back the following biographical sketch: "Remus Rodham was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to service at a government facility, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.
In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed.
I believe it.and I found Billy boy in my lineage,on the outlaw side of the family.His real fathers name was William Blythe,and my gggrandfather was named William Blythe.Hes not that close a relative but is kin.A skeleton in my closet.

What 1st and last name would you choose for yourself? What name would you choose for a fellow CS'er? It can be a famous person, or something made up.
For instance, I would change Indy's name to Hillary Clinton....
(sorry Indy)
