23. That was interesting, thanks for posting it.

25. Stuff like this makes DU so damn good...thanks.

I had no idea hartford Conn. was "born" in 1637.
Sessions ancestors settled in Monroe County, which is older that the state of Ala., btw.
Looks like his folks have been here in the county, and around the area, for many many generations.

very fascinating, thank you.

4. 'He was born in Selma, Alabama, on December 24, 1946,

[1] the son of Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, Jr., and the former Abbie Powe.[2] He was named after his father, who was named after his grandfather, who was named after Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederate States of America,[3] and P. G. T. Beauregard, the Confederate general who oversaw the bombardment of Fort Sumter, starting the American Civil War.[4] His father owned a general store in Hybart, Alabama, and then a farm equipment dealership. Both of Sessions's parents were of primarily English ancestry, with some Scots-Irish.[5][6] In 1964, Sessions became an Eagle Scout, and later, he earned the Distinguished Eagle Scout Award for his many years of service.[7]

After attending Wilcox County High School in nearby Camden, Sessions studied at Huntingdon College in Montgomery, graduating with a B.A. degree in 1969. He was active in the Young Republicans and was student body president.[8] Sessions attended the University of Alabama School of Law and graduated with a J.D. degree in 1973.[9]

Sessions entered private practice in Russellville and later in Mobile.[10][11] He also served in the Army Reserve in the 1970s with the rank of captain.[10]'

10. So, let's return him to Great Britian. They'll love him.

16. Right about when the GOP became racist.

He was in college in the late 60s.

In 1964 LBJ signed the civil rights act and kicked the racists out of the Democratic party. The GOP became the party of racism after that.

5. We have "people"?

12. Just too perfect!

Freakin' hilarious.

[R B Garr]

14. LOL!

[LeftInTX]

20. That's his sister!

[Ilsa]

21. He is her understudy!

33. " Yoo hoo, Beauregard come eat dinnah!"

[lindysalsagal]

35. Holy crap!

[R B Garr]

9. Don't know, but just learned last night that beauregard

is a type of sweet potato. We caught an old episode of Alton Brown's show and he had that on. I've never paid that much attention to the types, just yam vs. sweet potato.

11. I don't know, but he doesn't exactly look Scandinavian

[smirkymonkey]

13. The Clampett family of Beverly Hills?

Formerly of Tennessee.

17. While shit piles do contain DNA, I'm not sure a third pile of shit made from samples

of two separate piles of shit counts as an ancestry.

[shanny]

18. We should ask him to take a DNA test.

that should be fun

[SummerSnow]

34. Hobbit DNA. he was exiled from the Shire and became an Orc.

[Motley13]

19. another relative

22. ...?

[Docreed2003]

28. That's clearly Brother Stonewall Sessions

[diane in sf]

27. Good chance he has some African ancestry, many 'whites' in the south do.

[Warpy]

31. And in most other parts of the country, as well

Wouldn't you love to get a DNA sample from him and get it run?

He doesn't b'lieve in science, of course, so he'd discount it. His supporters might pay attention to the percentage of sub Saharan members up his family tree.

I already know I'm a mutt and I don't think much of anything would surprise me except maybe Maori or Aborigine, my people never got that far.

30. Melanin-deprived cave-dweller, like those newts and things that lose all their color...

...after enough generations deep underground.

[SummerSnow]

32. Hope his great grandmother is black

[TeamPooka]

36. Slaveowners. His people were slaveowners.

[lindysalsagal]

37. And there you have it.
