I’ve always loved Elvis! I can’t remember when I didn’t ! Almost a year ago, I wrote a post about Elvis and my kinship to him! As part of the Zero to Hero Challenge, I was assigned today to revisit an old post that I thought I might improve with some of the new skills I’ve learned in the challenge! I chose this post because it was fun, and I wanted to add something new–like a slideshow. I have this wonderful picture of Elvis blowing us a kiss! Swoon! Swoon! I just had to share it and these other pictures with you!
My 5th great-grandfather was Col. James Steptoe, born 1710, and he fought in the Revolutionary War! I’m sure this courageous patriot would be flabbergasted to think that his fifth great-granddaughter, writing about him over two hundred years after his birth, values him highly because he is the link to her kinship with Elvis! Starting with James Steptoe, and going through his family–all the way back to the Andersons in colonial America then forward to the Presleys in Tupelo, Missisippi, we can see that Elvis is my tenth cousin! Sorry Grandaddy, I love and admire you for a lot of reasons, but this one is important, and fun, today! I promise to write about James Steptoe himself, for his own story is amazing–but today we are celebrating Elvis!
