I am into genealogy. I am a Mayflower descendant and can trace my family line back to the 700s in two cases. I am a "Son of the American Revolution" and the "Son of the Founders of Hartford", Connecticut. My 9th. Grandfather, Andrew Ward, was the first Colonial Commissioner of the State of Connecticut. I'm related to almost every President of the U.S.A. and to the first Prime Minister of Canada, Sir John A. MacDonald, most of the Monarchs of England and France, one from Wales, and every King from the Scottish throne through the Forbes and McDuffy sides of the family. The following movie stars are all my distant and, not so distant, cousins: Lucille Ball, Shirley Temple, Shirley Booth (Ford), Marilyn Monroe (Gifford), Bette Davis, Clint Eastwood, Steve McQueen, Brook Shields, Paris Hilton, Mae West, Jane Mansfield and Jodi Foster. My direct progenitors started the Episcopalian Church, Salvation Army Church, co-founded the Congregational Church, and I am 2nd. Cousins (6xs removed) to Joseph Smith, founder of the Mormon Church. Famous industrialists and others include: John Brown: abolitionist, The Porter's (married into the Keep family), who own Miss Porter's School for Girls, Henry Ford, and also the makers of: Kellogg's Corn Flakes, Johnson's Wax, Pond's cold cream, General Foods (Margorie Merriweather Post), the Packard Automobile, Nash Automobile, inventor of the television: Philo Taylor Farnsworth, and above ANYONE else: Henry Martyn Leland, the founder of the Cadillac automobile. Interesting facts: My 9th. Grandfather, John Lathrop, started the first library in this country in Barnstable, Massachusetts. Both Harvard and Yale (Yale is related through marriage on the Mix (aka Meeks) side of the family who sold him the property where Yale University is on now) have seen a cousin from my family as their Presidents. Colin Francis MacKinnon, my 3rd. Great Uncle, founded Saint Francis Xavier College and Saint Ninian's Cathedral in Nova Scotia, Canada. 5 of my 8th. Grandmothers were hanged as witches in Massachusetts during the witch hunts. Two of my 9th. Grandmothers were native Americans who were Daughters of Indian Chiefs. My 30th. grandfather, Robert LeFort, saved the life of William The Conquerer with his shield. His name was changed to Fortescue (Strong shield) afterward.

О себе
My nickname is Vinny. I left college with a 3.8 G.P.A. I am currently living in Connecticut. I have blue eyes, shaved head, with a goatee. I am 6 ft. tall, 225 Lbs. but, that will go down in the Spring to 215 Lbs. I am bright, well-mannered, clean up well, down to earth, courteous, articulate, and sincere. I love to cuddle on a cold winter's night as well as throughout the year. I like to keep up on the News. I love being on the internet when I have the chance. It can be very educational once you learn to read between the lines. I am a HUGE Zeitgeist fan! Check it out on YouTube sometime. Bill Clinton is a fan too. It's 4 hours long but you learn more in those 4 hours, than from any other source in the world, on matters which really count. I speak German and French fairly well. I'm a Yankee through and through. I am friendly, accomodating, and passionate. My favorite music is soft rock when I am driving to any type when I am out clubbing. My favorite food is anything except: sushi, escargot, frog legs, caviar, anchovies, and anything that is traditionally cooked but, isn't. My favorite restaurant is The Nordic Lodge in Charlestown, Rhode Island. My favorite place for brunch is Old Avon Farms (Although the Simsbury Inn is a close second for their pancake blitzes). Custy's ranks high for an all-you-can-eat restaurant too. I love Deer Island Gate for German food.
