I never really understood the whole six degrees of separation thing although it seems pretty cool. I was poking around cyberspace and was reading about a new tome on Paul H. Young, noted Michigan rodbuilder by Deanne L. Young, his granddaughter. What I didn't know is he was a second cousin to Cy Young.

"You’ll learn of the fabulous history of Paul H. Young’s family, from his second cousin and immortal baseball hall-of-famer Cy Young to his grandmother’s cousin John Moses Browning, perhaps the greatest gunsmith who ever lived. "

Sounds like he had some interesting DNA. We are so fortunate that these books are getting written, none will be best sellers but with each generation we lose that oral and physical history that is fast being replaced with rote binary code. Does the world really need  Wikipedia?
