      As a keen genealogist with fecund and feckless ancestors I found myself really sympathizing with Anne.
      The frustration trying to sort out all 25 children by 2 wives of my 4x great grandfather (hardly interrupted by his sentence for cattle theft) , or all the husbands of my 3x great grandmother (including the mystery of who fathered her first child).
      Then there are the ancestors who seem to be incapable of telling the truth on documents , and those who seem to have appeared out of thin air.
      My teenager on the other hand couldn’t be less interested in my research so she would sympathize with Oisin.

      Doing genealogy at the moment, I can sympathize as well... But worse than having 15 kids with 4 wives is moving a lot and having kids in 3 different towns. If someone is born, married, and buried in the same place, finding records of all their kids is pretty straightforward. When they move it gets really tricky not to lose them.

    Hey Foil, Arms, and Hog! I love your stuff, I was so excited to get to see you guys in Boston about a year ago. (I was the one who had you sign a piece of aluminum foil, a tiny plastic arm, and a tiny plastic hog.)
    I'm a transgender man. A few months ago, my grandmother told me off-handedly that one of her aunts had been a lesbian. I was so excited I cried. Before then, I was under the impression that my bisexual sister and I were the only queers in the whole family. Connection is important. Family ancestry is important. Know your people.

My German side was filled with lawyers, tradesmen, a literal saint, minor nobles, and the last German POW of the Great War to be returned to Germany and is traced to the 1600’s. My Irish side always had some tragic story attached to the person. Literally, they all end in a psych ward, prison, or a workhouse. So this sketch was extra funny for me.

    I had been there for about an hour before I realised that I was the only person at that really crowded party, that wasn’t a family member, a child or partner of a family member - it was wild.
    Years later I was again invited to a family member’s 50th birthday party. The place was packed and every conversation that night began with - “now, where do you fit into the family?”
    Oh and they all played an instrument so there was always live music playing.
