Well to put it simply, my fathers current (and irritating) obssesion with family history found I could be traced to John Hathorne. For those that don't know, he was one of the Judges in the Salem witch trials.
I find it rather ironic, no? Great great great great (etc. untill relivent) grandson to one of the people who he so killed.
Well, I thought it was interesting.

Hmm. I've tried to trace my family history, but the trail on my mom's side goes dead in Columbia, and all I could find out about my dad's great great grandmother is that she lived in Sweden. Well, at least now I am registered as Hispanic at my school so I can get a scholarship better.

Wait you can get scholerships just for being hispanic? ********...

Electric Snowball Well, the colleges get good creds for taking in minorities. Oi. Personally, I just hate it when race is the issue for some actions done by buisnesses, schools, etc. I think it's called affermative action? I admit it's nice, the school get's more money, but at the cost of their credibility in my opinion. I'm probably one of the whitest people anybody is going to meet. I ******** reflect light. Add a little polish and I'm a talking mirror. My parents say I have some native american (no idea what creed/tribe) but with no proof, I'm... well, just white.

Yeah, well I don't really look Hispanic. Columbians usually have dark gold hair, dark eyes, and medium skin. But from my Swedish dad, I got blue eyes and pretty pale skin.

Hey, how do you trace your family history because lately, I been having this strange feeling that there is something about my family that I should know, but I can't figure out how. I tried to search my family, but the only thing I can find is somethings that don't seem to relate to me?

I tried an online family tree site, but they wanted you to pay for it. I suggest talking to your grandparents, and looking up names they give you in county documents or the internet, if it's recent enough.

Nightwolfy Hey, how do you trace your family history because lately, I been having this strange feeling that there is something about my family that I should know, but I can't figure out how. I tried to search my family, but the only thing I can find is somethings that don't seem to relate to me? Ancestry.ca is all my dad has as a source. pakhit0125: Never herd of her. D: Snowball: Yeah, they do make you pay. It sucks in a way. Personally, I just think that if you want to, get as much info from your parents as possible and leave it at that. My dad's just... wierd like that. Blabber. I think it's just the life style that makes pale skin. Do you tan or go out much?

D: It kind of sucks that they thought that kind of thing was right though. :< Speaking of activists, maybe we'll look at PETA the same way in the future! surprised I thank I'm not american either. It's a good country, but just a little screwed at the moment. You're grandfather was a communist? Of which country? Anti-church? Like... athiest or..?

Well I am french, he escape German prison to the second war and enter in the resistance, I think he reads a lot of things about communism. After the war he enter in syndicat and in the party. He always believes in human beings and right. He fight for social rights and I am proud of him, but that's in the blood because we found activist people in almost every ancestors and always against church dogmes.
