Really? Where did you see that? I'd like to see it myself.

Actually, my grandma's maiden name was Roebuck and I think that Roebuck was a great cousin or something of hers.

Grandma married a jerk named Davy who descended from Sir Humphry Davy. He isolated and named sodium, aluminum, and several other elements on the periodic table. Invented the carbide lamp. Wrote poetry, the first book on fly fishing, sniffed Nitrous Oxide with Robert Burns and Samuel Taylor Coleridge, etc. Big deal. His heir third removed left my grandma before Mom was born. Jerk.
