My great great grandfather just appears from New York, refused to answer any questions about his life before he settled down in iowa, and disowned the couple of children that tried to dig up any information. So we just assume he was on the run from some crime.

Apparently, one of my grandmother's brothers went from County Limerick to Boston and ended up as a bootlegger, so there's potential for schadenfreude. Unfortunately, that's all we know, and finding the right "Francis Byrnes" in US immigration records seems unlikely. My great-grandfather was a foreman at the Guinness factory in Cork, but was sacked for drinking too much of the product. Rascar Capac fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Mar 12, 2021 |

I thought you were supposed to let your flaming shot burn for a few seconds, put it out, then shoot it, not try to drink the fire and burn your eyeballs. I guess I’m not hardcore.

Schad is on everyone who has to constantly listen to white folks go on and on about their ancestors/geneology. For younger Hispanics, most of us don't worry about that kind of stuff, probably because it's hard to figure out what came from what given that we're all mutts but an overly eager interest in genealogy in people who otherwise have no interest in biology or sociology etc has always creeped me out a little. Older Hispanics are horribly obsessed with proving some sort of European ancestry and will bend over backwards to deny any and all Indian blood so it's definitely not just a white folk thing. Moving to Central Texas though lol ppl really do say they are part cherokee ahahaha

It ended with "and then the took his body and buried it where no white man knows" which sorry

One of my presumably distant cousins I've never met did a geneology book tracing the descendants of a family that lived on a specific farm in like, Norway, bc they were interested in where a certain obscure surname came from and it turns out it's from that farm. It's sort of interesting, I guess? EDIT: Most interesting fact was that one of my ancestors pranked a friend on a long boat trip by playing the fiddle behind the wall where a fiddle was hanging in their friend's room and coming up with an elaborate story about ghosts, so I know the rear end in a top hat well runs deep.

So we just assume he was on the run from some crime. I have a similar story my great-great grandfather "James" just up and left his wife and one son one day (there might have been a child's death, i don't particularly remember) and moved on and never connected with them again. His son "Jimmy" grows up, has my grandfather "Paul" and Paul has three kids: "Ethan", "Benjamin" and "Lucas" (my dad). So one day a family moves in down the street from my dad's family in this little podunk town in the middle of nowhere. Their kids's names are Ethan, Benjamin and Billy. Their last name is the same as my family's. So the families get to talking about history, and apparently, one day, a dude named James [LASTNAME] just showed up in the big city. No backstory, wouldn't tell anyone about his history before showing up. Just showed up, had a family, died. Somewhere out there I have an entire cousin line and I have no idea who they are, which sucks because I have two known cousins and they suck

low key sex master posted:poo poo did he fight with Henry Munro? The only info I have is an excerpt from a book about 1798 which says that after joining up with the insurgent army he fought through most of the remaining campaign and returned home to Carnew afterwards. So no idea, but probably unlikely based on the locations I guess?

My wife does a lot of genealogy and you start to see that the folks that came to America were not the ones who had a decent life back home or had screwed up their decent life. She has an distant cousin that was fined for 'grazing his rear end on the fattening grass' of a neighbor. So he had no land and nowhere to feed his animal. There are records of multiple petty crimes related to poverty. His kids came to America. His oldest living direct descendant is a federal judge. I have an ancestor who "was born in a wealthy family and had the best of everything. Good home, good schooling. He got the maid pregnant and they put him on a boat to America." He had an ok life here but nothing like he probably could have.

I can only speak of people I'm not related to. This is a water vitalisation device that makes hexagonal water. It does nothing* and costs €8000.  * well,  it does interfere with amateur radio, so the devices are now illegal to use in Germany.

Happened to appear in this world with a very noble face. I am often being asked what did your ancestors do, and it gives me great joy to explain that my great great grandfather died from overstrained himself plowing the field. A peasant who plowed the field. I have photo evidence that in WWI some family was warriors but that almost forgotten man who got hernia or who knows will not be forgotten by me

My grandfather was a civic employee and died getting out of his car in the parking lot going to work one morning when he was only 55. I've seen pictures of him from a few weeks before he died and he looked as old as my dad did at 75.

I know my ancestry a few generations back on my paternal grandfather’s side because he had to have an Ariernachweis as a public servant on the railway. He died before I was born, so I never had the opportunity to ask what he knew about the deportation trains.
