I'll be tickled pink to see that meeting as well! I'm not the least surprised to learn that even Sam has some Took--and Maian--blood in him. Perfect!

Author Reply: Well, with 12 children, Tuk and Adamanta almost guaranteed the spreading of their line throughout hobbit-kind!

Ah, yes, if you go far enough back in time, everyone is related to everyone! Sam will be astonished indeed.

Author Reply: *giggle* I love the idea of his astonishment!

So, Frodo and Sam are related and not just by heart...too neat and cute... :)

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Author Reply: Yep. Although it goes back probably more generations than even they can count...

'without a drop o'fancy or moonlight in the blood'...Oh, dear, I can just imagine the Gaffer saying that, quite proudly, too. I guess it was just as well that MOST of Sam's blood was solid, hard-working Harfoot. Hmm, maybe his Took streak came through Bell?

Author Reply: Could be. Of course, Adamanta's blood is well-scattered among the Shire hobbits, so it could easily be through the Goodchilds...

'without a drop o' fancy or moonlight in the blood'.

I just love that. Dear Gaffer!

Author Reply: I'm very fond of the Gaffer myself! Thank you, dear!

Sam's head just might possibly explode, lol! I look forward to his reaction as well. ;)

Author Reply: Yes--he's always been sort of proud to be just "plain old Sam"! *grin*

But of course, as genealogy obsessed as hobbits are, they can only go back so far. The truth is, probably every hobbit in the Shire is related in some way to every other hobbit in the Shire somewhere along the line.
