do you know anything interesting about your family.

my great grandfather was a semi-pro boxer and my grandfathers brother use to fight in tournaments before mma became popular.
One of my German ancestors founded a Lutheran church in rural Virginia in 1765 and fought directly under Washington in the Revolutionary War. The church is still active and knowing that my family helped shaped the US from the early colonial days makes me proud.
@ProdigalSummer: very cool. my fathers fathers side of the family settled in the richmond and norfolk areas of virginia back around 1600s. have alot of distant cousins in virginia from what i hear. that part of the family was from the cornwall area of Great Britian

I could write a book. I'm the keeper of the family history. One of the stories is that my great grandfather went out to buy cigarettes and instead sailed to New York, went mad, and then came back and got nude in front of the vicar, with ten hats on his head.
