I hope this helps a little. If this so-called "Uncle" of yours thinks he is so righteous and disowns half the family, let it be known that you DO have a family tree, you have some famous relatives (including Presidents, writers, actresses, and singers), and there's not been a single family in the history of mankind that hasn't had skeletons in the closet somewhere along the line, including kings and queens. That is what makes us human. We are NOT meant to be error-free. PS--did he maybe think possibly this guy Larsen DIED before he could marry Edith??
