Four Generations:

Princess Leia Dwana, in her hair buns, was born about a half a decade prior to the destruction, the end, the 1933 bankruptcy of the United States of northern America (USA) of 1913, the 1871 corporation, not to be confused with the country. She was born in the roaring twenties and gave birth to her firstborn, my mother, Marilyn Mitchell, in her roaring twenties. Like Disney's Star War's George Lucas says, it's like poetry, it rhymes. My paternal grandpa, Peter Marinus Rasp, was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, & his grandpa maybe Germany. My 5x great maternal grandpa was born in Scotland, and his father, Ireland, in 1722, which makes me, Oatmeal, German, Scottish, English, Irish, Anglo-Saxon, Dutch, a little Canadian, mostly European, Oregonian, West Virginian, New Yorker, Californian, kind of Hawaiian, emotionally Vietnamese (dep dep, tai sao, khong hieu), and totally American, but not Indian, like Pocahontas Elizabeth Warren.

23rd or the 30th?

According to MontourHinman.com, Ann was born on the 23rd, not the 30th, according to that website, the archive, the ancestry genealogy family tree, for the families, the surnames, the family names, the last names, of Montour, Hinman, Wagner, and Thorton. As of right now, on 2018-09-22, Saturday, last time I checked that website, the 22nd of September, that is today, that is what that website said, for the record. I think Ann was actually born on the 30th and not on the 23rd. My younger sister was named Crystal Ann Arnold.

Charles Dwight Pickett

Dwana's father, Charles Dwight Pickett, was born on Sunday, the 5th of April, 1903, in Lyman, South Dakota, exactly a century before the death of Tiffany Cumbo on Saturday, 2003-04-05, & Charles died on the 16th of February, 1975, in Seattle.
