(AP) - You're both grounded!
Two voting-age sons of a northern Ohio candidate didn't go to the polls Tuesday, and their father's race ended in a tie.
William Crawford, trying to retain his seat on the central committee of the Erie County Democratic Party, and challenger Jean Miller each received 43 votes in the primary balloting.
Officials plan to conduct a recount, but the race may have to be settled by coin flip, said David Giese, the county's Democratic Party chairman and an elections board member.
Crawford was able to laugh about it Wednesday, but he said his sons are going to be getting an earful for skipping the election.
"Oh they will, let me tell you," Crawford said.
Son Jim lives across the street from Crawford's home in Castalia, about 45 miles southeast of Toledo, and son Andy is a college student who lives at home. Both are registered Democrats.

I wonder if it would be interesting for the you to look at the House Preston website (www.mpreston.demon.co.uk) which, although in the very early stages, is a resource for recording and locating family records.
Perhaps it would be of interest to record your own details on the site and to follow it to see if information comes in which may be of interest to you?
