Half my family came to the US illegally. My mere existence is incredibly upsetting to racists.

One of my ancestors was an OG Massachusetts Bay Colony guy.

But it turns out 200 years later in the 1830s a distant cousin paid to have a false biography written that alleged he was a descendant of royalty going back to Crusade times. Ya think about Jacksonian era racism and you can see the motivation I guess. We fought the English just to have some people decide being English is better than everybody else who wound up over here.

There are countless boomers on the genealogy sites repeating this royalty falsehood, with geocities links as citations.

An obscure academic basically blew up this fraud biographers work back in the 1930s, but he didn't author that many so it's kind of forgotten inconsequential history. I'm still getting around to emailing this dude at the Massachusetts historical society, I'm sure looking into this would be a fun project.

Well my father's side came from the mountains, while my mothers side came from the caves.

As you may suspect I was born in my father's village but raised with my mother's people.
