Stop moaning - you got a million stars and flags!

I love these true story things. I got all shivery reading about your grandfather.

The lady with flaming hair - do you have any redheads in your forebears?

No red in my family. Most hispanic, and some eastern european stock (hungary, far eastern germany,etc)

Can you remember what she told you?

To determine your future: set fire to some strands of your hair - cut them off first!. If they burn brightly, you are in for a long life. If they splutter and smoulder, it is said to be a death omen. www.writers-free-reference.com...

It may have simply been one of your forebears who lived a long time..

my mom brought this story up again the other night while we were dining.

I might probe her a bit more. See if there is anything else, or if she will jog my memory any.
