So who are these people?
Most of them are not my direct ancestors!
- Why? Because family trees branch.
- Most of the Rushes in Kemper County belonged to ìside branchesî from my point of view. Theyíre cousins, second cousins, great-uncles, great-great-great-aunts, fifth cousins twice removed. . . etc. etc. etc.
But they all are probably my relativesóand I can try to reconstruct my ìfamily treeî based on our shared common ancestry.
