20 Blunts posted:oh god i wrote alot. bringing this all back to the post I quoted... the oldest, most definitive ancestor on my tree is born 1796, in Maine, and his father is pretty sparse on whatever records have been scanned onto the web so far. I'm really thinking they were Condolences.

Serephina posted:I'd love to see how they relate to Jesus. Did he impregnate a few woman on the sly, did Saint Maria have a few more (non-immaculate?) conceptions that where his never-mentioned siblings, or did they wholesale invent grandparents of his? I's been years since I actually saw the book, but I believe it was just basically a list of names going all the way back. Who ever sold those probably just swapped out a few of the newer generations every time the sold a book to vaguely match up with who bought it with all of the older stuff being boiler plate royals and famous figures. I'm sure I'm also a direct descendant of Cesar and Charlemagne and all sorts of other fancy people going by that book despite the fact I'm 100% some flavor of Scandinavian/northern European peasant mutt as far back as anyone actually bothered to accurately check. Push El Burrito posted:This is why I believe my grandmother's stuff because our claim to fame is things like "owned some land that John Smith lived on for a little while" or "very distantly related to Jimmy Carter, like 9th cousins or some poo poo". That's actually pretty much the same actual claim to fame my dad's side has. The original 1/2 of my dad's house is a tiny frontier log cabin that George Washington stayed in while surveying Long Branch in N. VA. I have cranked it to internet porn in the same rooms as our greatest founding father. That's a historical connection you can stand behind. -Zydeco- fucked around with this message at 03:02 on Mar 12, 2021 |

Did he impregnate a few woman on the sly, did Saint Maria have a few more (non-immaculate?) conceptions that where his never-mentioned siblings, or did they wholesale invent grandparents of his? There's no basis in scripture for any of this, in case you're wondering, though the idea of Mary's perpetual virginity is a very old idea. But much like the non-scriptural Harrowing of Hell mentioned in the Apostles Creed, its origin cannot be traced and it isn't biblical. Regardless of whether they were half or full siblings, there's solid evidence that the family of Jesus was influential in the early church in Jerusalem, though that influence seems to have ended at the beginning of the second century when Rome utterly curb stomped Judea. Producing family lineages that tied back to Jesus doesn't require that Jesus hosed, although he did go around with The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved so ... draw your own conclusions on that one

I looked over at my wine rack and saw that a gift bottle of '84 D'yquem (a very nice bottle of Sauterne, a French dessert wine) was missing. I asked him what he thought of the wine, he said, "It was pretty sweet but good.". I managed not to clench my teeth and said, "Glad you enjoyed it!". I really wanted to try that wine... Oh my loving god

Two things I just learned from a quick glance at his wikipedia page. Sub-Saharan Africa is bigger than I thought, I assumed it didn't include Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad and Sudan, countries that are all significantly covered by the Sahara Desert. Second is that the country Chad is the same shape as the head of the Chad from the Chad/Virgin memes.

It was a track they put out for their Subscription Club so probably no budget for a video, even a jokey Gay Bar-esque one.

I know my ancestry from my mother's side up to 1678 because genealogy was a popular hobby in the early 1900s and Sweden had kept good records for a long time, but on my father's side the rich aunt who was financing a family tree stopped the money once the researcher hit a bunch of horse thieves deported from Hungary.

My grandma used to claim that our ancestors came over on the Mayflower. No idea if that's true or not (I'm guessing not) but it was never really a major thing, just something she brought up from time to time if the topic came up. I'm really curious about the person who said their grandmother had a picture of her own great great grandmother though. Was that just hyperbole? Or did everybody have kids really young? Based on my own family that picture would probably have to have been taken in the early to mid 1800s. That's a pretty awesome thing to have, regardless of all the racist bullshit involved with genealogy and rhetoric.

Everyone knows how hard the winter was for the Pilgrims, but seldom is it contrasted with Samoset strolling up to the Pilgrims, saying “hello”, and asking for a beer, in English. We’re coming up on the four hundredth anniversary of that legendary stroll. It’s journaled as the sixteenth of March, but on the Gregorian Calendar, it was the twenty‐sixth.

My wife looked back into her ancestry and found a bunch of smugglers in the mid-1800s who left Scotland in other-than-legal standing to pursue their habits in the new world. The most hosed up thing we found is that my wife's ancestor once got into a fatal brawl with my mother's second husband's ancestor near Daylesford. He (mother's second husband) was an enormous shitbag so his ancestor getting murked by my wife's ancestor wielding a set of shearing clippers was like, precog justice.
