After watching Lionel Ritchie find his "roots" on tv last night, I did a bit of research on our police great grandfather, Ira Lycurgus Ricketts. Through his wife, Pearl Singleton, we are related back to Ireland, to the Coad family. When I first read it, I thought we were related to the "Clod" family, which made sense at the time.
Ira's dad was married three times, we are the descendants of wife #1. The other descendants compose what seems to be all of Indiana.
I will now be able to name all of the people in Dad's old photos and this will ensure me the lion's share of his fortune.

Lycurgus?
Lycurgus (Greek: Λυκοῦργος, Lukoûrgos; 800 BC?–730 BC?) was the legendary lawgiver of Sparta, who established the military-oriented reformation of Spartan society in accordance with the Oracle of Apollo at Delphi
Oh, THAT Lycurgus.
My mom is Irish. She drinks a lot. She is happy to see that my dad is Irish too, even though he doesn't drink so much.
