Not Mormonny, just have a Scottish mother who seemed to want to keep track of the roots as well as the oral tradition of telling stories as far back as were passed down.I am not particularly worried about somebody else's conception of Heaven, so not to worry.As I said, my mum left me a copy of her book about the Forrest/Brownlee/Carnegie bunch as well as she passed down as much as she knew about her maternal side as well.You know, now that you mention it, the city where I live was founded, late 1800's by Scottish boureoisie of the mercantile variety, so, if the Forrests et al are anything like the bunch who laid out the Edwardian roots of this former colonial outpost, stories of nefarious and other kinds of dealings in order to establish wealth and privilege would not surprise me one bit.
