When I met my 2nd hubby he told me that his family were distantly related to Dolly Parton oh yea says me, thinking my leg is gonna get longer with all of this leg pulling, then his mom showed me a letter from the states asking for details of her family as there was a family link and wanted to add the names in the family tree, yes the letter was for real, my hubbies family are Partons, that is why I didn't beleive at first, but his parents did confirm what he was saying.
