Monday Afternoon Reading: Family Connections

If you're one of those persons who hate Mondays with a passion, I feel your pain and have something to make it better, in the form of a very interesting link. If you on the contrary happen to love Mondays, oh well, I can't say I really understand you, but I still have a very interesting link for you.

So if you ever wondered who was the inspiration behind some of Margaret Mitchell's characters (I know I did), or just happened to ask yourself "Hmm, what's the connection between Doc Holliday and Scarlett O'Hara?", now you have your answer.

This link is for all of you who find such tidbits interesting, but for one of our readers in particular. We also promise that lady that there will be more on this topic. Now go read the story here:

  2. Great link! More you say? As in the MM connection? You are a superb sleuth!

    Speaking of kissing cousins, do you think Philippe Robillard and Ellen were first cousins?

  3. Of course as in the MM connection. You put us on the right track ;)

    As for Ellen and Philippe, I have no idea. I don't quite remember, why was it that Ellen's family was so set against this marriage? Perhaps they feared the children will turn out "as popeyed as bullfrogs," in the words of the adorable Beatrice Tarleton? :P

    I tend to think they were second cousins, though.
