| Some months ago I was able to make the connection back to
| English nobility which led to Edward III. I was positively
| elated to add the pedigrees of so many historical persons
| to my own history. It has baffled me that so many of my
| friends and family are completely disinterested in this discovery.
| It doesn't make me any different than I was before, but I almost
| find myself apologizing if I raise the subject of my ancestry.
| It is a perplexing situation.

middle of the periodic table, roughly between iron and silver.
Between iron and silver. I think that is appropriate for you.
