I just watched the movie with Ben Kingsley as Fagan and decided to read the book. Good so far, but it's tough to have any time to read.<BR/><BR/>And Cherie reminded me of our ancestor Isaac Longwell who had 9 kids with his first wife, Phoebe Cargill, and 8 kids with his second wife, Sarah Winslow!<BR/><BR/>Take care!ChristinaGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12990953167325306238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30037974.post-30359769762761522192007-11-27T03:27:00.000+01:002007-11-27T03:27:00.000+01:00Hi Christina,<BR/>How are you ? Nice to see you .<BR/>Thank you for trying these memes !<BR/>Let me guess...I'am probabaly getting egg on my face, but is that from Dickens ??<BR/>As for the "Can you top that ? " meme, I have not gone higher than 12.Although by modern standards, 10-15 children is rather a large family, that seems about "moderate" for the 19th century.<BR/>Thanks for stopping by and see you again soon.<BR/><BR/>You have a great day and see you again soon.barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02717159905482468936noreply@blogger.com
