So, I just found out that my great uncle's great uncle's uncle's cousin was from Puerto Rico. Thus, I'm claiming Hispanic blood! I'm Irish-Hispanic. A deadly mix.
Has anybody else ever found out stuff about theur family history? |

Well, over the past couple of years... I've discovered alot of my heritage.
It turns out: - My grandmother was secretly Jewish, and that "Roman Catholic" was just her entire family's way of covering all that up... because if they didnt, they'd surely be killed / thrown in concentration camps. (I already knew she was born and raised in East Germany during WW2). But it turns out she escaped into West Germany at the very end of the war when she was 18. - That my great great grandfather was a burgelmeister (mayor) of a city w/ about 300,000 people in East Germany. He eventually had to step down when he was in some sort of meeting, and got hit in the face by a pro-Nazi because he was standing up for what he believed in. He ended up going blind over it. This was about 10 years before WW2. - That my great grandfather was a high rank Nazi soilder (was forced)... and was eventually held as a prisoner of war by the US. - That I have a great great great something grandfather buried in the Westminister Abbey in England. - That there's a freakishly long line of doctor's in my dad's dad's family. - And besides being 1/2 German, everything else is Scottish. SCOTTISH. What the hell. I thought I was like English/Irish ect ect. SO DOES THAT MAKE ME KILT WORTHY? ![]() And all of this is from my Dad's side, except for being Scottish. xD I think I went overboard. But I'm just now finding out about all of this. ![]() |
