hope this helps.

Because, when you jump up 10 ft. in the air,
then land on some "crackers" chest, then you let out a really loud high pitched
"yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh......." as you crack every bone in his torso with your feet, then if you do these types of "caucasian killing" activities on a regular, frequent basis, you end up having to
adopt all of their widows !

After a while you've got a whole "harum" of
really "hot" "white chicks", and a bunch of kids named "Chad Lee" or "Todd Lee" or "Dustin Lee"
or "Robert E. Lee" !

By the way, "Nobody", absolutely "Nobody" can
"F*** Up" "Chuck Norris"............... except..........

Surnames in the long run aren't considered all that important in genealogy. The same surname can frequently come from more than one national origin and not everyone with the same surname are necessarily related or shares ancestors, even those of the same national origin. I think you should see this from the name Lee.

In genealogy you trace the ancestry of people, you don't trace their surname.
