    Default Rudds Ancestry

    AUSTRALIAN WAY
    No matter what side of the AISLE you're on, THIS is FUNNY and VERY telling! It just all depends on how you look at same things.

    Judy Rudd an amateur genealogy researcher in southern Queensland, was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's great-great uncle, Remus Rudd, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Melbourne in 1889. Both Judy and Kevin Rudd share this common ancestor.



    The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows at the Melbourne Gaol:
    On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Rudd horse thief, sent to Melbourne Gaol 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Melbourne-Geelong train six times.

    Caught by Victoria Police Force, convicted and hanged in 1889.


    So Judy recently e-mailed Prime Minister Rudd for information about their great-great uncle. Remus Rudd:

    Believe it or not, Kevin Rudd's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:



    "Remus Rudd was famous in Victoria during the mid to late 1800s . His business empire grew to include     acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Melbourne-Geelong Railroad.

    Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad.

    In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the Victoria Police Force. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honour when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."



    NOW That’s how it's done, Folks!

    That's real POLITICAL SPIN.

    Jim, I'm surprised. With respect, I think your last line in bold and upper case unworthy of you.

    Funny indeed Jim, but you make it look like you actually believe it.

    Remus Rudd Hanged Horse Thief Hoax

    Outline
    Circulating story claims that Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's great-great Uncle Remus was hanged as a horse thief and train robber in 1889 and that the Prime Minister's staff answered a query about this politically unfortunate ancestral connection with a piece of classic political spin that attempted to present Uncle Remus's nefarious activities in a positive light.

    Brief Analysis
    The claims in the message are false. Kevin Rudd has no such ancestor and no such "political spin" reply was ever sent. In fact, the message is just one more version of an old joke that has been used to target several public figures in the United States and Canada. The condemned man shown in the gallows photograph, is Tom "Black Jack" Ketchum, a murderer and train robber who was hanged in Clayton, New Mexico in April 1901.
