For us old families, it does...
So Robert Seelye came with old Winthrop, eh?
Beat my family by 10 years.
You are of the Kansas Seeleys, then?

We were a notable family,too, at least for a while.
All my family has for fame these days is "the dancing pickle".

	Same family as the Abilene Seeley's, but unfortunatley not my side of the
family, so no chance I'll inherit the mansion!  (Not close enough to the
mattress Sealy's either, but still the same roots on the geneological vine.)
My paternal grandmother (Elizabeth MacGrayne) was Scottish and her family
emigrated to Perth, Canada.  My dad's family was all based in and around
Windsor,Canada, Warren, Michigan, and the midwest in general.
	I do have records of the gravestones in England where the Seeley's are
buried in the late 1500's.  I did not get a chance to go see if I could find
them when we were there in '98, but if I ever get back, I'm definitely going
graveyard-snooping!
