Is David related to Megan Mullally? She played Karen Walker in that TV series
"Will & Grace"? Anyway, her great, great grandmother was Elizabeth Venable.

Try google . States he has one sister who prefers to remain publicly anonymous. He also has a brother. Megan was an only child.

Was Elizabeth Venable someone of historical importance?
I can't locate anything about her.
I think it's not an uncommon surname. How does someone find out the name of someone else's great great grandmother???
Violet Venable is a major character in the Tennessee Williams play "Suddenly Last Summer."

The surname Venable is not considered very common, but the last census lists at least 10,000 + people with the last name of Venable in the US. It may be encountered more in the South. Yeah, I actually checked. ![]()

@kaydee50. @PA Mom-mom. Don't laugh, it keeps the bored busy doing research and keeps the mind active and alive. You can go down a rabbit hole and learn all sorts of interesting things.

I spend most of my evenings going down the Genealogy rabbit hole and connecting children with their parents on Find a Grave.

@PA Mom-mom Years ago, I came across the last name Venable in relation to research involving Stone Mountain's history. Stone Mountain is located near Atlanta, Georgia and the Venable brothers who owned rock quarries purchased it in the late 1800s.
A book called A Fever in the Heartland by Timothy Egan led me to the Venable name encounter. Love going down historical rabbit holes and ancestry data myself. Keeps my mind active. Cheers!
