My dad is also the family historian, unfortunately do to a feud the
database is offline.

My dad being 24 when I (2nd born) was born was considered a late
bloomer. ;) Lifespan on that side does seem shorter, but I'm hoping
my moms side picks up the slack, my Nana cleared 100 with room to
spare.

estates) in fact after my mom's passing my Dad moved back down
there. There have only been a couple of us born north of the Mason
Dixon....
