Eh, Robert Goulet

Awhile ago, I was quickly typing the absurd list of famous relatives. So distant it makes more sense to describe them as famous people who happen to share a distant known ancestor. One of the names I typed was Robert Guillame, the spectacularly talented star of Benson. While I am related to him as I am related to all humans, it's not through known relatives and is a little further back. What I meant was Robert Goulet the talented singer born in Massachusetts born to French-Canadian immigrant parents.

I do not regret the error.

Wiggert

An Anna Wiggert from Saarland married a von who was later executed after he was accused of being part of the July 20 plot against Hitler. So good for him. Maybe my Wiggerts come from Saar. Probably from Baden-Wittenberg (spelling?). TBD
