Default The Curse of the Miscaer's

i asked my father what my heritage is on his side is, so he called my uncle to find out. since its my family, i had to sit through a bunch of crap i dont really care about before getting to the point. but this time i found out something interesting, that i thought i would share.


dating back to the mid-17th century(first ancestor came to new amsterdam in 1647), my father's family has never a succesful marriage. all ended in divorce or death.

the most exciting was moses massiker(a civil war vet) who's wife paked her bags, left and, because the women in my family are far from "normal", burned down the house. shes my favorite great-great-great grandaunt.


all i can say is

totally explains ALOT



and i turns out im: english, dutch, german, norwiegen, scottsirish, irish, native american, and french

Yeah, it's always fun to hear about your family history. We were going through family photos once, and we found one of a great-great uncle when he was about my age, and he looked exactly like me. It was kind of freaky. Unfortunately, my family history (as far as I know) is pretty boring. I wish someone in my family would set fire to a house or something.

wow, those are some interesting facts. maybe that explains your crazy side. :P and what's more amazing is having a pedigree that goes back so far (to me anyways).

i would like to know my ancestral family history as well but my culture is a bit different because we don't traditionally have a written language so there would be no way they would have kept track of it.
