My dad was adopted. I have Mexican blood from him enough to tan extremely well. So I can't really trace my lineage at all. My last name was his adopted families last name. They're nice to me but we're not blood. My dad's "mom" looked at me in disgust. Hi grandma. Oh OK then. We spoke 3 sentences to eachother and that was it. Wow she's a cunt. Tell me about it.

I've never had grand parents. My moms mom died young and my dad's dad died young I saw my first dead body at 5. My parents have been mad about it the people that would have cared died. My mom's dad and my dad's mom are terrible people. I felt bad just meeting them.

Ya it's traced back to all of me haha. My dad has tried to find out his last name or our ancestry as we're curious. But it isn't possible he's been trying for like I dunno 60 years. So my lineage is not known. Bummer I wanna find out I'm related to george Washington or some shit.

I'm descended from this dude:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niklaus_Leuenberger
Quote:
Niklaus Leuenberger (c. 1615 – August 27, 1653) was a leader of the Swiss peasant war of 1653.
He signed the Treaty of Mellingen along with Christian Schybi on June 4, 1653.
After the defeat of the peasants at Herzogenbuchsee in the same month, he was delivered to the Bernese authorities. He was executed by decapitation and drawn and quartered on August 27. His head was nailed to the gallows, and the four parts of his body exhibited on the four highways out Bern.
In 1903, on the 250th anniversary of his death, a monument was erected to him in the Emmental municipality of Ruderswil.
I've never been to Switzerland

How does one do this? How did u find info on your family name?
Geneology websites, mostly. I was reading my grandpas obituary and it mentioned his parents names. I looked them up and found more names. Theres a few missing people here and there, but there are so many entries and sources that its easy to piece it together. Googling names with years of birth or death will help narrow the search. Then I stumbled upon a kentucky historical society that links a few locations to my family name. I followed that up and managed to connect the dots from south carolina to virginia to england. I managed to find wills, slave appraisals, plantation sales..all kinds of shit

My grandfather and his father and mother (and possibly their fathers and mothers) were English colonists in Burma. The story as its told in the family is that they got the very last boat out (I'm not 100% sure what they were getting out from, but all the English colonists were leaving, and my family was on the very last boat that left). On the way back, the boat was going to make a stop in America. So they said that my family could either get off in America, or go all the way back to England. My family chose to get off in America and has been here ever since.
My mother's side is much more complicated because it winds through Texas and most of US history almost all the way back to the beginning.
However both my mother's family and my father's family lived in Northern California during the 40s and 50s, and so my parents met. Both sides of the family ultimately settled in California after being largely itinerant. As a result, to me that's the real beginning of my family's ancestry.

Shit I wish I could trace my lineage. Both my parents are total drifters. I have European blood mostly Polish and Irish from ma's side. All we've figured out about my dad's side is one of his parents were Mexican. As we tan incredibly well. it's all speculation it's a running joke.

Huh guess I got the good splash. I'm surprised when I burn. Well this isn't right shit it musta been hot. It's superfantasic. I mark white when they ask my ethnicity but I'm brown as fuck.

Yeah I know right, but I think this can actually be proven on my dads side, could be wrong though, could just be something my mom told me because I was wild as hell growing up.

I have a similar situation, my dad was also adopted. I know one of my real uncles who has told me my paternal grandmother is in the next city over, I've never been able to find her though. Supposedly my grandfather is native but I have no way to confirm that or even know his name or if he is still living... I've heard the stories of how everything went down but I'd like to think she made a huge mistake she learned from and would love to meet her.
