Quite a feat indeed. I also have the salty god Sir Francis Drake in my genealogy, my grandmother researched and copy righted our Drake lineage back to the 4th century! Quite a feat indeed.

It's a shame, too, because I had some really great questions about those idiotic inflated pantaloons they wore in Drake's time. I mean, were they flotation devices or something?

My mother's father's mother (Great Grandmother) was a Drake and was related to one of his brothers. But don't bother contacting me with any of your stupid asinine questions!! I am also a related to the Drakes. My mother’s father’s mother (Great Grandmother) was a Drake and was related to one of his brothers.

I can't believe you found someone almost as distantly related to Drake as I am! Well done you all. It turns out that my great great...(many times) grandmother remarried to Drakes brother, after her husband (an Elford) died, young. Brilliant journalism anyway, I can only agree with 'Bilge' above. We oftentimes enjoy driving around the Drake memorial here in Tavistock, Devon as the children tip their hats to 'Uncle' Drake. I'm not quite sure how to break the news to them of how tenuous our link to their past is. Yours, JE Hi. I can’t believe you found someone almost as distantly related to Drake as I am! Well done you all. It turns out that my great great…(many times) grandmother remarried to Drakes brother, after her husband (an Elford) died, young.

Told me it was some of your "finest work", you did. So I read the interview. Now what I want to know is, ... "finest work" in what capacity?
