Whats your great great grandfather called?

In four generations no one will know your name. Not even those whom share your genes.

Stop taking everything so seriously and just enjoy the ride.

He was a POW of the Confederates, held at Libby Prison in Richmond, VA. I would call him patriot. abolitionist, and hero.

@dancingtongue Hell yeah. A man to be remembered indeed.

@Vaper The other one on my father's side immigrated to the U.S. to escape the Franco-Prussian war, had a successful career as a skilled woodworker in Chicago until burnt out by the Great Fire, then migrated to California and started a successful brewery/saloon. Once he earned enough in Chicago he sent for his bride as he had promised. I would call him loyal, pragmatic, and achiever. The two on my mother's side I don't know much about because they never left the Island of Pico, but the offspring they sent directly to California got a strong set of values from somewhere.
