Randy says:  Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:

1) Which U.S. Presidents have held the office in your lifetime?  Your parents lifetimes?  Your grandparents’ lifetimes?  How many generations do you need to cover all of them?


2)  A list of the U.S. Presidents is in 
http://www.presidentsusa.net/presvplist.html to help you out.

3)  Put the answers in your own blog post, in a comment to this blog post, or in a Facebook or Google+ post.

There have been 27 US Presidents since Great-grandma Lula’s birth and my life presently.

I have to go back to my 4th Great-grandfather David Wilson Pressley (1791-1849) to cover all 45 US Presidents.  David Wilson Pressley was my first direct Pressley ancestor to be born in the United States. He was born in Abbeville, South Carolina.

This was a fun post to work on! I really enjoyed it.

Have a blessed week, y’all!
