My son, Baxter Cornelius McGaughy, was born January 23, 2014. This event is a sort of "Reverse Genealogy" in that I am working on my family tree going forward instead of backwards. Well, at least that's one way of looking at it. Honestly, "Reverse Genealogy" is much harder and much more expensive than the normal kind, and comes with a whole new meaning to the phrase "Sleep Deprived".
I am still working on my application to the Sons of the American Revolution. There may be some difficulty in my application, as the McGaughy book by Polly Sutton may not be a source I can use to document my lineage. I haven't heard back on that yet, but they did say it might be a problem. At any rate, I made a ridiculous American-Themed Birth Announcement to send to them:
I am hoping that it goes over well at the next meeting. I have a feeling that it may.
