Happy Birthday
To Vanessa Jayne Curtis, who is 20 today. She’s my second cousin once removed, daughter of the other Valerie in the family, whose grandfather was my grandfather’s brother, John Henry Ellis.
On another note, I just noticed that my father’s cousin Diane is married to a Gordon Ramsay. Obviously not the Gordon Ramsay, but amusing nonetheless.
Update:
After finding out some of this info is wildly wrong and I apparently have garbage data in places, I rushed home hoping to update the post before someone like, say, Wally could see it. He beat me to it in the comments. Jeez.
You may be a little off on your family tree info… Vanessa is the daughter of Ann, who’s the daughter of Burns (Henry Burns Ellis), who’s the son of John Henry Ellis. Valerie has two daughters Lisa and Karri who are both in their late 30’s. But yes, Vanessa is our second cousin once removed.
