Mother's side Russian Jews...from Russia. The family split up when left Russia so have family in Australia, Japan, France, and Israel...though never see any of them.

Father's side from Germany. Related to Karl Stülpner who was a Robin Hood type figure in the 18th century. He's quite popular over there. There was even a television series about him in the 70's and a number of things are named after him including a beer called Stülpnertrunk which I must import somehow.

don't know much about my mom's side, just that they've been in America for a REALLY long time and that her father's family owned a bit of land in Texas.

my biological father was adopted from Sweden

my stepdad's family was originally from scotland (mcgeachie was the name...its changed since then) and his mother was english, he was born and raised in Germany

I have a bit of family history.

My real name isn't Darren McLeod.

It's Ted Hitler.

But I'm not related to him.

Okay, so maybe I am a bit. But indirectly. He was my father's... father.

So it is direct. I'm Adolph Hitler's grandson.

Derrr.

I forgot about the other side of my family, my moms side.

All I know, is that I'm part Ukranian on my moms side.

Thats all I know. Thats the extent of it all.

Thats all that has ever been said about the family history on my moms side, and I don't know why.



Oh, and I also forgot, on my dads side, I'm also Manx. (The Isle of Man)

And I'm about 1/64th some type of Indian. I forget which one though.


But for some reason, I take pride in the fact I'm Manx, Savoier, and Canadian.

People say Manx isnt a place, so I cant be manx.
They have no idea what the hell Savoie is.
And they say nobody is truely Canadian.

That last one makes me the most mad.

My family has been here since before it was a country. I'm Canadian. But then some people say "Oh, but the Natives here were the first Canadians."

No, the Natives here were the first owners of the land. The land was not Canada. My family came for New France. Then moved to spare land that became Canada. Sheesh.

And I'll say I'm savoier until the day I die. I'm proud of my no longer existing country that is now basically a ski resort in France.

The Ukranian I'm iffy about.
