Odd. One of my french ancestors from Canada, who married a Mohawk, was a bastard daughter of the Sun King of France... Which, if you're related to one of the royal families of Europe, you're related to all of them. Tracing back that lineage is interesting what you can find - for example, one of my lines from that woman goes back to the brother of Saint Nicholas... Yeah, that's right. The same blood that runs thru Santa's veins, runs through mine... ![]() |

One of my grandfathers fought in the pacific theatre and had a bunch of confirmed kills for the army. He became a Federal Meat Inspector.
My other grandfather was also in the pacific theatre in the Navy and he was a SeaBee. He went to work for the phone company. |

Maternal grandfather was a Harris. Found out the family shortened it from Harrison to Harris. He's a direct descendant of 2 Presidents (Harrison).

My mom's father came to this country from Sweden in 1910 a 5yo just meeting his father for the first time. He grew up on the family farm in Rehobeth the youngest of 8 children. He became a master carpenter and cabinet maker and never totally retired. He lived to 87years old.
My dads dad didn't really hace an occupation. He tried alot of things. Traveling salesman,teacher, magician,newspaper reporter. He wrote for a couple of magazines and even authored a couple of novels.He generally was a scheamer(sp?). He also was a raging alchoholic. Needless to say my grandmother was the main breadwinner of the family. Ironically she retired after working for a bourbon distillery in Louisville. |

Maternal grandfather was in the military for a long time but never served in a major conflict (he used to train new recruits). He was also a very good hockey player and at one point was scouted for pro leagues but he turned them down to remain in the army.
Patneral grandfather I don't know much about. He fled Hungary during the 1956 revolution and married my grandmother, but they split during my Dad's childhood and I never even met the guy. Kind of sucks given I'm a history major. |

Ouch, so in theory, the blood that flows thru your veins, might also flow thru mine, if they ate him after ![]() Kidding. But anyway, I would assume the aforementioned ancestor was a missionary of some type, because we Iroquois are a bit, shall we say, short-tempered, and sometimes them priests got a little too pushy, I'm told. The ones who took the torture and burning in a stoic "manly" fashion were usually killed a lot quicker than the ones that screamed like girls. Those ones, the Iroquois would take their time with. Not sure why. Maybe we just respected the ones that "took it like men". But dont' worry, Ras. They don't let us do that stuff anymore. ![]() |
