Would you like to share your ancestry?

[ktlight]

Didn't see the movie but I do remember it was around. 'Not so long ago' relates in my memory. Stop picking. I hardly remember the year I was born, in terms of dates.

Hi guys...

One part of me hate to admit this, but on my Mothers side are well documented research all the way to "A" Templar Knight.
It was my Mother's uncle who did all the research, this was before the internet he did this, so he spend a lot of money on this.
And i remember how proud he was to show me this, i dont have the information about the names years and so on.

To be honest, i have never really been interested.





On my Faders side i have less information.

The one thing i do know is that my grandfather died in the Finish winter war (1939-1944)



Then my Fader was send alone to Sweden.
Finnish winter war pictures children was sent to sweden alone with name tags

I think bloodlines are interesting because I feel that people reincarnate within family lines.
When I look at my husband who is the great great grandson of Wild Bill Hickman, who had 10 wives, and was the notorious Dante and assassin for Brigham Young, I wonder.........

I wonder many things.

I have also wondered about reincarnation within the same family....example: a few months ago, my young daughter picked up a child sized accordion we have, spent about 30 minutes messing around on it, and then started playing the song "Born this Way" by lady gaga on it. No one taught her to play the instrument, no one taught her the song. I was kind of astonished because I don't play any instruments at all. I asked her Dad, who did take lessons as a child, how is that possible? He said, "if you know how to play piano, you can play accordion." But that explaination is not good enough for me. His mother who died in 1975, when he was three, was an accomplished accordionist.

I wonder if it's his family genetics coming through, or something else?

Hello ketturah,

My son also has traits from long ago ancestors, not from me nor his father or grandparents, but from generations back on my side of the family. It's almost like my son is his ggg grandfather to a tee, same talents and interests. No other explanation for it. Mmmmm....

Cheers,
Lily

On my father's side, there is Catholic Irish from Cork, going way back, emigration to Pennsylvania, USA.
My mother was English, with an English mother and a South African father, who had a Scottish father and a Bantu mother, who came from the South Seas.
I don't know what to believe, as it was told to me.
I was also told that my father was an Irish rebel, but I have proof that he was in the English army.

I have an Irish temper, which is more under control, as the years go by.

I blame my temper on my Irish Grandmother....lol, except I just get louder the older I get, just like she did! (Nice to be able to blame our bloodlines, takes the pressure off). Just joking folks! Mmmm....maybe not!

And, Lily, you have an Irish sense of humour.

[Ria]

Hm, it is a little patchy. On my Mothers side, her Mother told me many stories.
On the female side there were Irish, Welsh, French and she would say in a whispered voice there might be a bit of Gypsy, and what ever English stands for?
The French was a noblemen avoiding being guillotined married a welsh lady of means, left her pregnant and stole all her money, I think emigrated. Nice man, shame he didn't get the guillotine.
My maternal grand mother went on to say that her father hated his step father [his own having been killed] and ran away to sea, witch was India at the time, aged 13, found his way back to England home of his father, I think his mother might of been half Indian.
My grandmothers grand parents reluctantly agreed to marry there daughter as he had no means, but could see they were in love, it was not uncommon for him to walk from London to Brighton to see her. ....... do you here more?

[Ria]

Sorry, bad grammar and spelling. Do you wont to hear more.

Native American..Abanaki (Northeast), Normand French.....Sur name family motto "Qui ce pique, ce frappe." from coat of arms... this bloodline originated in Norway many centuries ago. Maternal is native american and paternal is Normand. Land owners in France and land Stewards in America. We are all one!

Yes, I do, Ria. But if that Frenchman was a part of your ancestry and he got what you wish he had, you would not be here.

I am the proud great, great grandson of Nancy Ward. Her real name is I won't spell this correct but here goes NA Ha NI HI a great cherokee woman who taught the english settlers how to make butter and corn and such. she was an inkeeper and gave shelter to strangers and kept the honest white man from being scalped One of the klans was on the war path and enroute to crush an enemey and passed through her village and the braves turned on the pale faces and she came running out and saved hundreds from a certain death . To the white settlers she was a hero in the new world. She has a monument and a beautiful garden spot in Chattanooga Tn. I visited there and the sign at the entrance is written is cherokee and I was able to read it and tell the story to those with me and I don't read Cherokee but, it freaked me out I knew exactly that was written. My brother spent two years tracking our family tree and we ended up in Chattanooga. My fathers side is Irish, so I'm an Irish/cherokee mutt. weird I'm passive 90 percent of the time , but piss me off and my short temper is ugly, thanks to spiritual enrichment I keep my anger put down with ease. People in my circles are always saying no matter what happes I'm never too high or too low , always even keel. they can't deal with it , they want me angry when they are, and sad when they are , I'm mostly happy all the time. God bless the grandmothers, and mothers of the world= real treasure !

You must be one of those Estevez kids.

African, Choctaw, English, French and something else. None of those should have left me with B+ blood according to my research, since it is generally an Asian bloodtype, but I've got it nonetheless. I AM the Rainbow Tribe.

And, yet again, they also had so much local support, the police couldn't get informants to give them up.

That is funny that you said that!! In my family, they have always told that my great Aunt Dell used to hide the James boys out in her barn, in Oklahoma. Frank was very shy, Jesse,,, not so much. Aunt Dell died with a shotgun in one hand and her whiskey flask in the other. Not sure that is true, but that is how they tell it.

I am Cherokee, Bird Clan.

[joedjemal]

I'm a real mongrel. English, Turkish, Irish, Scottish Celt, Norman, Italian, Huguenot and a bit of black African I think.

[EsmaEverheart]

I am English, Irish and Cherokee. Everyone from Oklahoma is part Cherokee.

This is an interesting thread. It's really fun to learn about our lineage especially when we find a direct link that leads to a bread crumb trail that goes way back. My lineage was traced back to at least 2500 B.C. because of such a crumb trail and the geneologist got tired basically and finally said, so and so son of Zeus son of Mother Gaia, LOL. The thing that set off that trail was we found that through one family connection we were direct descendents of William the Conquerer and Charlemagne, which lead to Otto of Saxony a Roman Emperor I believe, and then there was a trail off to some King of Persia. My recent lineage goes on my mother's side of Pennsylvania Dutch (German), the Thompsons of Scottland, and on my father's side his dad was strick English Heritage and his mother was half French (Poupour's) and Northern Italian (Cazzazzi's). Oh, and supposedly we were directly related to the founders of Duke University and I could have gone there for free had my parents taken advantage of some clause, but I've never tried to verify that tidbit. So, I am a Hines 57 mutt.

I have no idea of reincarnation in the bloodline, but damn, I'd hate to think I have direct blood of thousands on my hands, but more than likely I do as I have a warrior's mentality and a strong desire for justice and lifting up the people. William and Charlemagne were very interesting in their approach to leading the people, education, and justice. They also did a lot of fighting as all rulers did back then.


Otto the Great


Charlemagne


William the Conqueror... My father looks very similar to William.
