Your background

DarrenMcLeod · 11-15-2005, 02:14 AM

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.

I think my side (moms side or whatever) came from Germany. I think great grandpa or grandpa, not sure the relation sine I wasnt as attached to him came over from Germany around early 1900s I believe...

Thats about all I know of

Ive got backgrounds in Italian/German/Poland.

If anyone asks though, I always say im of Italian descent because not a whole lot of people are it seems.

My mom's parents immigrated from Ukraine. And my dad's grandparents immigrated from Ukraine. So I am like, fully Ukraine, but I speak none of it, and I consider myself Canadian.
