My great great great great grandfather was the one in Oklahoma to put tires on top of his tepee .

Interesting that this happened today. As y�all know I�m at the lake house cleaning it up to make it my house again after mom and dad passed. Today we cleaned out Mom�s office. My sister, the local family historian was sorting stuff. She gave me a bag of paper to burn so I spent time at the fire pit today. Anyhow tonite before dinner she brought forth her findings. Remember, this is Mom�s office.

Mom was an Arkansas Brazil, or so we thought. Turn out that grampa Brazil was a Texan from Taylor. That was the first surprise.

The second surprise...

The Brazil�s immagrated from Ireland. They were then known as Braswell. They were seafarers, good Navy men, like me. Brea is a hill or slope, well is a spring. Anyhow, Mom�s papers say that a man, Eremon, supposedly a legendary figure, in 335 B.C. sailed from Spain to Ireland to plant the Brazil clan. The Brazil�s flourished, and in about the year 500, a member of the clan called Brendan went on a seven year voyage and visited the new world. In the year 800 the Brazil clan left Ireland bound for the new world. Her docs said they came to America, didn�t say which one, and gathered dye products and returned to Ireland to market dyes. Ancient records confirmed the Brazil clan named many dyes. It is noted that later the clan Brazil sailed to South America to explore for more dye products. They discovered more of the same products and returned to market them in Ireland. The South America they got there dye products from was given the name �Braezeale, the ancient spelling of Braswell. That name eventually evolved into the modern name Brazil.

I�m not lying or drunk, yet. This is from Mom�s personal papers. I had never seen them before. BUT, mom didn�t cotton to BS.

I promise not to raise y�alls taxes.

All humans are descendants of the same man and woman who lived 100,000 to 200,000 years ago.

Our communal mom and dad got together after a catastrophic event almost wiped out the human race.

I just found that one of my great, great, great, grandmothers invented fire.

Should have patented it. I see that stuff being used all the time. We didn�t make a dime off of it.
