Life Family Tree

**luv** · 02-07-2009, 10:46 AM

So, I'm not really for sure why, but I got curious about my family tree earlier this week. My dad had a bible that my great grandmother gave my grandmother that has what history my grandmother could remember written in it. I can trace my dad's side back to my great-great-great grandparents. Haven't started on my mom's side yet. I'm getting ready to go back and look up the last names to see about their origins. Maybe I can figure out what kind of mutt I am.

What kind of mutt are you?

Perfect.

How's it going, Jazzzzz?

My mom's side has a pretty detailed book on the family tree, and there's one picture from like 1880 that eerily looks like me. Not so sure about my dad's side, but it's more like a forest...

Sure, ignore me.

And after all those times I drove you home after your drunken nights out...

Talking with my dad, he was thinking that his cousin did extensive research on the Rogers string. He said, overall, we are mainly English/Dutch.

Thanks for not throwing up in my truck.

I'm okay, just trying to get a lot of things done all at once lately.

I have no idea about my family history. I know that I'm not of native american, asian, african, or south american descent, though. That narrows it down to Europe for whatever that's worth.

My Surname was traced back to the first in my line from England. Mom's, mom's side is 100% Norwegian. There is a Cuban snuck in on my Dad's side to add a couple kids in every generation that are just a bit darker, and we tan really well. lol.

But yeah, I'm a mutt.

My surname is Swedish and I am 1/4 Swede (great-grandparents came from Sweden). The rest is a mismash from all over Europe, mostly English and German I believe. My mother's side has been here since before the Revolutionary War.
