It's official. My sons are Emo kids.

Stop laughing. I'm serious.

My paternal grandfather's maternal grandmother's maiden surname was Emo. Which makes me 1/16th Emo, and da_norvegicus and quatranoctal both 1/32nd part Emo.

More importantly, that branch of the family came from Ireland, but prior to that had been Italian! That's one bloodline I hadn't expected. Brothers and cousins of Elizabeth emigrated to Ivanhoe, Ontario; and Nebraska, and all sorts of places!

I think I'll go and write some angsty poety now.

This is the link, if you're interested - it's a PDF. Page 3, Elizabeth Emo, born 1835.

Great last name, as offspring you have some justification - my ancestor names are not that interesting although there are a lot of them. :)

I *knew* there was a hot latin somewhere inside you. ;)

One big Emo family. This is useful information.

You're Emo? Symps aren't supposed to be Emo.
