According to a lot of story telling and missing records and then suddenly found records, then missing....anyways. According to myth and legend from one side of my family we're all from the UK somewhere, Brittany (supposedly), and Native American by way of a great...great grandfather having an extra martial affair which is how my great-grandfather came to be adopted by my great-great-grandfathers wife and raised as her own.
Cool thing is that my grandmother's side of the family we know for a fact fought in the American Revolution, and we're related to one of the many dudes that signed the Declaration of Independence. However, this is also the side of the family that evidence is starting to point towards being Travellers...who knew, and the jury is still out there as we're trying to piece together a broken timeline of my pops' family. And this is the side we know the most about...
The other side....who knows! Scuttlebutt says German, but since we are almost 99% certain that my dad's family made up their surname or it was altered from the original we're not certain except that all people with that surname in the US are related. Then there's some Native American and French, iirc.
So beyond being blessed with dark hair and the ability to tan if I go out into the blinding sun...I'm about as pale and pasty as they come.
