how far into your family tree can you go?

[Will Bozarth]

After a brief time of not caring, I got back into this and I just traced my dad's side of the family back to the 1400s.

 

[Captain Beard]

Roughly viking age. I have to find that damned book again.

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

my family tree goes back into booze. and nazi germany.

 

[Will Bozarth]

so, your family's only been around since the 40s?

 

[Captain Beard]

They spontaneously appeared from a pile of dead jews.

 

[Will Bozarth]

well, my great grandfather's middle name was Adolph

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

considering how common the last names "james" and "schmidt" are, i doubt i'd find anything worthwhile.

 

[Anvil]

My grandfather was able to prove that we are descendants of Ivan the Terrible. I think that's pretty fucking cool.

 

[Will Bozarth]

...and my OTHER great grandfather's last name was Rosenberg. HM!

 

[Captain Beard]

No, no pun-ability there Tyler.

maiden names lead to many interesting places

it all depends on how you look

oh yeah, my mom's biological father's name was Hermann Goering, but he wasn't the Nazi dude who tortured people. so they say. so trying to trace her side of my family would probobly just get me that guy.

 

[Chromatose]

But how far can the tree go into you?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

never really looked into it, but I know I'm related to General Stonewall Jackson. The south will rise again!

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

my paternal grandma's maiden name was Disney. but i don't think there's any relation to walt disney. sadly.

 

[Chromatose]

Could be, he also hated jews!

 

[dreaming neon darkspot]

hmm... i don't think we're aryan enough, though

 

[Will Bozarth]

what was your mom's last name before she was adopted?

 

[WhiteBeastofWotan]

Rosenberg...

You're banging your cousin!
