IF you're referring to stories, I'll provifr s few: For the sake of the younger folks who might read this, I won't get very graphic. You can use your imagination. TRUE STORY: You never make love TO that person. You make love WITH that person. I AM A VERY fortunate man. I had the wonderful experience of seeing my parents, both sets of grandparents and all my aunts and uncles behave as though they were constantly on their honeymoons with their spouses. They would hold hands, cuddle, hug, kiss, whisper things to each other, say, "I love you, _____!" and carry-on like many young people, who are in love, do in public. They would smile at each other and tell each other How beautiful, wonderful and thoughtful she was! AND How thoughtful, wonderful and handsome he was! WOW! What a great set of romance and romantic role models! No, I never watched as they were making love in the most intimate way, but I DID see and learn from their examples and inter-actions with their spouses! As far as I know, no one ever cheated on the other. That being said, one day my mother's father asked me to take him to the track. He "LOVED those ponies"! He was well-aware of the relationship I had with the lady I was dating and who would one day be my bride. He said words similar to these: "I know your father told you what to do, but did he ever tell you how to do it?" I answered, "No". He went on to say, "I'm going to tell you some things I don't think you'll learn from any one else. When you have sex, make love or whatever you want to call it, you don't behave like most other men. Most men are just interested in one thing and one thing only - satisfying their own selfish selves. That's NOT the way to do it. You have to make absolutely certain she is satisfied. No matter how long it takes or what you have to do, you have to do whatever it takes to make sure she does what she likes to do best. You HAVE TO satisfy her first. Your brain is the most important sex organ. Your brain controls what happens downstairs. When you aren't sure about what to do or how to do it, ask her what she wants you to do. She'll tell you or she'll show you. When you're making love, you think of other things - not what's going on at that particular moment with that particular lady. When you think about what you're actually doing, I guarantee you'll never satisfy the lady in your life. He went on to explain about holding hands, hugging, kissing, caressing and taking things one step at a time. He described a lot of things I heard of but wasn't sure about. During that ride, one of the last things he said was: When you are absolutely sure she is satisfied, then you can do what you know is best for you - but not one minute before. Thank you, Gran'pop. I love you, Gran'pop. I miss you, Gran'pop! Rest in Peace, Gran'pop! END OF THIS STORY! TRUE STORY#2: When I was about 8, 9 or 10, I wished for something or I wished I could do something or I wished one of my terrific aunts would come home so we could do something. I said my "wish" loud enough for my wonderful Gran'mom to hear. She stopped what she was doing (making bread, I think), took-off her apron and washed her hands. In a very sweet, matronly way, she took me by the hand and led me to the living room. Gran'mom sat in Grand pop's chair and pulled me very close. As though she was telling me a secret, she said softly, “I’m going to tell you two things I think are important enough for you to know. Number 1, I love you. No matter what you say or what you do, I‘ll always love you.” I was playing with my hands, looking down at them. I glanced up and looked at her smiling face. I said, “I love you too, Gran'mom.” She said, “Yes, I know that. And number 2: Wish in one hand and pee in the other - then see which one gets filled first!” We hugged. She hugged me a lot harder than I hugged her. She went to the kitchen. I continued whatever I wasn’t doing. END THIS STORY No accompanying story is connected with this. One day. while having lunch or dinner atour grandparents' home, this is something we were told at the table. THE VERY BEST friends you'll EVER have are in your purse, wallet or pocket: Benjamin Franklin: The $100 bill. Ulysses S. Grant: The $50 bill. Andrew Jackson: The $20 bill. Alexander Hamilton: The $10 bill Abraham Lincoln: The $5 bill. George Washington: The $1 bill. As far as Thomas Jefferson on the $2 bill, folks aren't very familiar with that bill. It's better to have two $1 bills." Gran'mom Berue Gran'mom was a VERY smart lady - FAR ahead of her time! May God Bless ALL my Gran'parents! I love them very much! I miss them very much! May each of them have eternal rest and peace. Thanks for asking your Q! I enjoyed answering it! VTY, Ron Berue Yes, that is my real last name! Sources: My wonderful family! Because you asked.

Not exactly sure I understood the question. But I have been researching my father's family roots....and I have found that his family goes back in the village where he was born and raised (Briercliffe, Lancashire, UK) to the 13th century.
