Genealogy is hilarious ... who knew?

Mum and I have both been tracing our family history for years - she's doing both her parents sides, and I'm doing my MPU's (Male Parental Unit side. A couple of days ago Mum discovered that one of her ancestors, who's surname was Buss - fodder for jokes in it's own right - had parents who made the unfortunate mistake of christening her "Minnie". Poor Minnie probably didn't have to suffer cruel teasing back in the 1700s, but Mum and I certainly laughed 'til our stomachs hurt when she told me. "Minnie Buss" ... minibus .... LOL!
