Default Re: Famous ancestors?

My great + a bunch (used to know, now I forget how many) grandmother is Mrs. Bixby. Who? you may ask? It's a famous letter from Lincoln that was used as the basis of the movie "Saving Private Ryan". She is the one in the Civil War that lost all but one of her sons during the war and Lincoln hand wrote her a letter basically saying that she shouldn't of had to lose all of her sons. In the movie, this is the reason that they went and saved Private Ryan so that Mrs Ryan didn't have to have the same fait.
