Got it! The founder of our genealogical society was a Harriss, and always said, "With two s's." My daddy used to say, "Yep, she's right - there are
definitely two s's back there, and she's a pain in both!" I'm sure you can imagine how he pronounced the "s's"!!
He was being nice for my mother's sake: Mrs. Harriss was stuck on one of the problems she was having in completely her genealogical certification, and my mother told her where to look. She would never admit it, though!
Would saying that I find Craig Ferguson terribly sexy fit in this thread? It has been noted that I have this thing for Scotsmen!
