Flintlockecole Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The connection my family has to our past is honor. Leading honorable lives is a foundation for every member of our family for generations. It is important to know your past, who your ancestors were...because they are partly responsible for who you are now. The values I instill in my children will be carried on long after I am dead. So yes, it matters even if you don't realize it.Sounds like something my Great Grandfather would say, he probably did. English, and I'm the last of my line.

TheCalliton Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 I honestly don't believe in all of that "I'm half this, half that, a quarter this, quarter that, a third this, third that, part this, part that blah blah blah" stuff. I'm just a Canadian. :) Why bother with this? For the most part it is wholly irrelevant. Most people have no connection to their heritage, be it culturally or linguistically so it really does not matter in the end.two respond to both of you. WHO CARES!? it is something to talk about and be proud in. for all i know, one of my ancestors was a great warrior, or a general! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MalachiDelacot Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 How far back do you want us to go on information ? Family has been traced back to the 1300s. Mostly Scot / Irish, some Native American 4 generations back. In this life, I'd say I'm mostly human.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michlo Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 You might want to check out an ancestry package. I've traced mine back to the 1200's on my Mum's side. :) I also discovered that I have ancestors who were among the first settlers in the USA (and here was I thinking I was the first over here! hehe). Fascinating stuff. I use Ancestry.com and MyHeritage.com. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
