A Bit of History

I came across a marriage record for Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jr. while indexing this morning.  When I saw the name I didn't think that could be a coincidence so I looked him up.  This was his first of five marriages.  He was 5th son of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt.  Apparently he also was in politics and served in the House of Representatives from 1949 to 1955 and ran twice for Governor of New York.  This isn't as exciting as grandpa finding the Confederate dollar bill--but it was interesting!
