Hey, congratulations on winning your school's geography bee! I've been to the state level twice and the national level once, and I wish you all the best in the written exam and beyond. Happy editing! --King of All the Franks 15:37, 15 January 2006 (UTC) Thank you. I think I did quite well on the written test.Icelandic Hurricane 15:38, 15 January 2006 (UTC)\ Hey - me again - believe it or not thats another thing we have in common! I was shocked when I read that! Anyway, yeah, I did the same exact thing, won the school bee in sixth grade and took the test - it got accepted and I went to state, but I kept getting bad questions and I didn't do so well there. That's just crazy, the same exact grade even.

The information that I posted on the page came from the book. Do you know him personally? He and I correspond every so often (he would recognize my name if you mentioned it), but we haven't actually managed to meet face-to-face yet. Also, on an unrelated note, I saw that you've got an impressive family tree! Is Thomas Jefferson one of the presidents that you're related to? My great-uncle Alfred Niezychowski (I wrote that article about him, btw) was married to Nanine Ulman, who was descended from Jefferson, and was a Colonial Dame, though I haven't yet figured out which chapter she belonged to. It would be fun though to see if you and I might be distant cousins! Most of my notable relatives were in Eastern Europe, but feel free to check my userpage to see if there's any names you might recognize from your own tree. Nice to meet you, Elonka 00:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC) No, I do not know him personally, but I did know a bit about him working at LAS. And yes, I am related to Thomas Jefferson-three different ways! I'm not sure of the details yet though. I will add a full list of the presidents I'm related to.Icelandic Hurricane 20:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC) Let me know if you track down a family tree? We could try and triangulate. I know that my Great Aunt was connected to both Thomas Jefferson and Queen Victoria, and regularly socialized with Wallis Simpson. She was also a Colonial Dame, so you might want to check with the older women in your Jefferson bloodline, who might be members of one of the hereditary societies such as Colonial Dames of America or Daughters of the American Revolution. Those societies maintain elaborate genealogy tables (so I'm told) to verify eligibility, and they would certainly have Thomas Jefferson in the database. My own family tree (what I know of it) is here: http://www.elonka.com/public/familytree/ Oh, and a related question, since you're in New Hampshire: If you happen to be near a local library, could you look something up for me? I'm trying to find the date that Dan and Blythe Brown got married. It was near North Conway, and my bet is that there's going to be a wedding announcement in local newspapers. Would you be interested in taking a look to see what you could find? It would be a good and useful addition for the Dan Brown article.  :) Elonka 00:09, 28 January 2006 (UTC) P.S. Check the Billy Hoffman page. He's a friend of mine who is engaged to one of your distant cousins.  :) I will see what I can do about the marrige.Icelandic Hurricane 21:10, 30 January 2006 (UTC) I am also related to Queen Victoria!Icelandic Hurricane 22:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC) Welcome to the Tropical Cyclone Wikiproject!
