Well Ninurta, it sure sounds like we're related.
My Aunt, my maternal grandmother's sister, she was the family storyteller about her family's move west to the Colorado Territory from Missouri after the Civil War. They were wandering around from Virginia to Kentucky then eventually Missouri with their "help" as she put it, but obviously, she was talking about slaves. Apparently everyone including the "help" were crying when the war was over and slavery ended as their slaves were part of the family (not that I can find those folks easily). Now I believe it was Captain William Tucker that brought over the first slave couple to have children in what would become the United States, so Mom's family had been at it since they landed.
That all aside, I think we should try and find a common ancestor here in the New World. I think we'll find a closer relationship than good ole Ragnarsson. Did you know that the nickname "boneless" is thought to be because he had a medical issue? Can you guess what that was?
