Not Close Enough For a Claim to Fame

 Years ago i bought the book THE HERITAGE OF CHEROKEE COUNTY, GEORGIA (1831-1998). The bulk of the book are little family essays of families in Cherokee County. It has a lot of genealogy information. As a matter of fact, I wrote two of the articles. Now that I updated my Family Tree Maker genealogy program I am re-reading the book to see if I missed something, which I am finding I did. This morning for instance, I found that I am related to a member of the famed FYING TIGERS aviators of WWII. Lt. Col. Orlando Waller Wood, Jr. and I are both descended from Eugene Hargraves Tyson and Elizabeth Huey Tyson. He is a little too distant relative for a claim to fame, but interesting anyway.
