How far back of your families history do you know?

[McLovin]

Sadly mine ends with my parents accounts of their grandparents. I have only one more grandmother still living and Im thinking bringing my tape recorder and a notepad and gathering as much information as possible. Too much historical wealth stands being lost



If only we were a literary culture, Id love to be reading about the lives and experiences of my progenitors but they were probably too peasant to write anything down

My dad fought in some war and he has some gunshot wounds on his leg, also he had this amazing afro back in the 80s (It added like 6 inches to his height.) . My grandfather allegedly travelled through a lion's den. My great grandfather was tortured to death. (All according to my dad.)

My dad can still count like 20 names after his. Most of them are Alis and Ahmeds though. Lol

Thats interesting, Ive also heard of mysterious deaths in my family which when I probed would cause me getting shutdown. probably had something to do with tribe and re afriad of me being radicalized



Btw you should totally write your fathers biography down. So that the future generation can have something of substance to know about their forebearers, not just abtirsi




Also sorry to break it to you that lion story was probably fake. Unless your grandfather was from the deep south because I never heard of lions in the North

Just because he's from the North doesn't mean he can't go to the south. Also might consider writing that biography.

lmao he used to be a punk when he was a kid though. He ran away from dugsi and got run over by a truck. He almost got his leg amputated and to this day he still walks with a limp.

Im talking about detailed accounts of their lives, not passed down folklore, which is still better than nothng tbh


Things like their occupation, what they ate, their closes relationship etc

I don't know much beyond the family name coming about because it was my great grandfather's nickname.

The sad thing is none of my grandparents are alive so I'm stuck with only the nickname

 

[McLovin]

My grandfthers nicknme is rather lame. It roughly translates to he who was left out in reference to his orphanage. But ill take it I guess

He got the nickname because he owned a lot of horses. I'll leave the guesswork to you

My maternal granddad was also in the military.
