Culkin Family History

Most of you who read this blog probably know a lot about the present day Culkins, perhaps more than you wish to know. For those interested in the Culkin family history, Mary Banning Friedlander--apparently a cousin--has put together a detailed Culkin genealogy site, as part of her larger history of her family. There is a wonderful picture of our ancestor Francis Dugan Culkin, along with his many, many siblings. (Although when I see this picture, my first thought is always, "Thank God for Margaret Sanger.") There are also reminiscences and letters, some of which suggest the family penchant for dumb jokes is inherited.
