Has any of you used any of the sites that can trace your ancestry? I been thinking this may be cool to do. I'm not sure how far I could go back though. My father's great-grandparents were Cherokee, and I'm not too sure how well the records would have been kept.

My Aunt who was a geneology enthusist traced our family back to 1840 when they came from Germany..

wheel,

duwan. Go to the BIA website.

My dad's family came from a town in Poland near Germany that was never on a map.

My mom's mother was from a large urban Russian city (not Moscow or St. Petersburg). He father was Russian as well, from a small urban town.

All grandparents, but one came through Ellis island. The other went to Canada and walked over the border.

None were college educated. I am the very first professionally degreed, post-college graduate on both sides of the immediate families.

A girl from Arkansas wrote to Dear Abby: Dear Abby, I am 13 years old and still a virgin. Do you think my brothers are gay?

#1 I'd bet at least half of the people reading this thread think "ancestry" is something Mackenzie Phillips and her father were into for a decade or so.

^Yep.......I'm Scotch,Irish and Cherokee.I'll take a shot and a pint.....from now on lets just call this a Whistlebritches firewater.

Duwan,

... the way you all "keep it in the family", it shouldn't be too difficult... even with the cheating...

... just saying ... 🙂

The story is, my mother was a virgin. She was dating my dad at the time and was visited by an angel while she slept apparently. My father was out of town, on business at the time.

It was a scandal at the time, they had nowhere to go.

To make a long story short, I apparently got some great gifts from some pretty cool dudes when I was born in a garage in Newark.

I went away for like 30 years or so researching my ancestry and come to find out, well, I'm the son of god. Actually, I found the ancient Egyptian book of the dead and incorporated it into the new testament and created a whole knew thing.

... how old is your sister now?

:-)

Crucify him for forgetting NINE!!!

robert--i have an old set of Encyclopedias in which the map of Europe does not have a Poland--all split up to other countries. an OLDER map may have the city. in the re-repossessing, names may have been forgotten/changed.

#9 Sweet Jesus!

The details of my early life are inconsequential really. My mother was a 15 year old French prostitute with webbed feet named Chloe. My father was a low grade narcoleptic with a penchant for buggery. He'd make outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. As a child I was forced to wear meat helmets and was beaten with reeds. Summers were spent taking luge lessons in Rangoon. Standard stuff really.

He was born in Oklahoma

His wife's name was ole

Betty Lou Thelma Liz

and he's not responsible

for what he's doin'

His mother made him

what he is.

And it's up against the wall

Redneck mother

Mother who has raised her son so well

He's 34 and drinkin' in a honky tonk

He's kickin' hippy's asses and

raisin hell

11^ I'm washing my hands of the whole matter

Sincerely,

Pontius

just ask your friendly neighborhood mormon. they'll take you on a bike ride to the ancestral hall of shame.

Wow, Jerry Jeff Walker, bet there ain't too many that listen to good music like that.
