November Birthdays and Anniversaries Among my Relatives and Ancestors

There's something interesting about the three grandparents whose events I'm celebrating this month:  they are all related.  Martha Reay is Andrew Doyle's mother.  Andrew and Elizabeth Jane (Laws) Doyle are Gust's grandparents, which make Martha Reay and her husband William Doyle Gust's great-grandparents.  When I think about that longer than a few seconds, it amazes me that the only direct ancestors who had celebrations this month are all related.
