I'm wearing my "heraldry" tie today, to mark the birthdays of several of our ancestors. Beth's great-grandfather Frederick Bukowske (1856-1947) was born in November, but I don't have a specific date. In my family, Hermanus Kester (1703-1780), born on 2 November, became one of my sixth-great-grandfathers, TWICE -- you can read about the interrelations at my blog post from 2022. Joseph Kuntz (1799-1873), also born on 2 November, is one of my third-great-grandfathers. The Kesters and Kuntzes are tied together for me through my father's parents. Finally, one of my fourth-great-grandfathers, Samuel Webster (1759-1829) was born on 3 November. He is part of the Kester line! (Of course the first days of November are not extraordinary. Once you reach back eight generations you will find ancestors born almost every day of the year.)
