Hey Ron Paul,

Seems like if we didn't use maternal lines we'd only have the one clan of our fathers. But that's not where our blood comes from.

Of my 16 great grandparents, only one is a Macdonald. But there are also Gillis, Fletcher, Gordon, Scott and Frasier Scottish lines. And Gardener, Taft, and Doyle Irish lines, and Lewis from Wales....and a bunch of English ancestors.

Take it back to my great great grandparents and I add the Cameron line.

I think my DNA carries traits from all these lines... so I honor them all equally.

From what I know of my female ancestors they were all strong women...and I honor that too. And they all had fathers...and I honor them.

Ron
