Thank You for Having Sex

Nobody wants to imagine their parents having sex, let alone their great-grandparents going at it like rabbits.

However, you wouldn't be here if your great-grandparents (and thousands of your other ancestors) hadn't had a "roll in the hay," so to speak.

Now that I've placed that unwelcome image into your heads, perhaps it's time we switched gears.

Returning to  your great-grandparents now, although thankfully not to their sex lives...

A study by Ancestry shows that 1/5 of Americans don't know the names of any of their eight great-grandparents. Take a minute to think if you can name yours. Time's up! Were you able to name any of your 8 great-grandparents? (If not, contact me and I'll tell you who your great-grandparents were on your Culbert side of the family.)

It gets worse...

The study shows that a third of Americans are unable to name all four of their grandparents! The study didn't include Canadians but for all we know, we may be just as clueless. 

The study goes on to say that many people would like to know more about their grandparents.

So if you have memories or stories you'd like to share about your grandparents for publication on the Culbert Family History blog, please contact me at this email address:

Or if you're a grandparent who would like to share your own stories or write a biographical piece for your descendants, please get in touch.

Note: If you suffer nightmares from now on due to the image of your ancestors "making whoopie," please do not send me your therapy bill.
