Rep Power: 25 | Re: Things you never knew about your family. You know Pocahontas and John Smith? I don't know if the Brits or Aussies will since it's more of an American disney "fairy tale." Well, I found out a little while ago that we're somehow related to him. It encouraged me to do some more research, where I found out on Webroots.com a whole ton of history from relatives that were involved in the American Civil War (north, of course), and further that we're related to Williamm Bradford III, the son of the Governor of the Plymouth Rock Colony. It was interesting looking at the history, and my family became really how it is now. | |

All of my family is white as far as i knew until, at a family reunion a few black ladies and guys showed claiming they were Griffins (my last name) people knew them so I guess my family has black in it.... Edit: this came out a bit racist but I didn't mean it, no offence |

Rep Power: 69 | Re: Things you never knew about your family. I found out one of my relatives was in the Civil War (Fighting for the South) and died in a Yankee prison camp in Indiana 8 days before the end of the war. He was only 21. Pretty sucky deal. | |
