Family History

OK went back and looked.  This guy is saying 1700 but they were allowed to get property in Virginia in 1685.

See this is one problem typing on here. I can type one thing and someone will say that don't add up. I'm not thinking I type wrong it is just interpreted wrong.

Well finished the part on our family. 

Why is it when there is information it's all good folks. I'm sure someone stole a Horse.

He made sure to say all were Baptist. LOL

😂😅😁 No kidding!   

Gotta pretend that Drunks, Thieves, Wife beaters, Arsonists, and Niece fondlers never existed......even though every family has had its share.      

The omitting of unpleasant truths is the American/Christian way.  👍 No history lesson is ever complete.....or accurate.

I bet you were a chicken plucker in your adolescent  years  Glen.

I'm not a chicken plucker, or a chicken pluckers son......but I'll pluck chickens 'til the chicken plucker comes.

23andMe says I'm roughly 45/45 German & Irish, with a smattering of NW European mutt. Figure the DoD's had my DNA since the early '90's & with 57 years remaining on my NDA, I figure I'm already on a couple lists.

Dad's side, we were raised "German" & re-connected with our peeps in the old country in the mid 80's. Family traced back to some very minor nobility in the 16th century. My paternal grandfather's mother's people were Huguenots. My paternal grandmother's people were Irish, settled in MO & were divided & scattered by the War of Northern Aggression. Lots of soldiers, sailors & dirt farmers, more than a few drunks & one murderer. Otherwise no one really of note. 

Mom's side is a white trash dumpster fire. Lore was "we had Cherokee blood" & that turned out to be crap. Grandmother would divorce her current husband when she'd get knocked up with future ex husband's child & nobody knows for sure how many children my grandfather sired. To the best of my knowledge my mother has 8 sisters & a brother between 2 mothers & 3 fathers. A couple of childhood deaths, an attempted murder of one sister by another, one known child molester, 4 or 5 junkies & countless toxic parasites. Classy people, that crew.

Parents split when I was 5, so with a vindictive mother who would burn photo albums out of spite & to deny those memories to anyone else & couldn't tell the truth if her life depended on it, there's no telling what info or stories are lost forever or what untruths she told. The surest indication she's lying is the movement of her lips, so I just assume everything she says as a lie. Truth be told, it's probably just as well. Haven't spoken with my egg donor in over 10 years- I already know everything I need to about her & her people & that's more than I want to.

My father's long time secretary was the president of the Oklahoma Genealogical Society. For a present, she did a complete trace of my mother and father.

On both sides I am white trash Scots/Irish. The families came in pre and post Civil war and lived in the Appalachians. Mother's family and Father's family both followed the migration to Missouri and then to NW Arkansas pattern.

The anomaly was Coonrod Steiner who came in via New Orleans in 1903. He was Alsatian German and the name eventually twisted to Stainer.

The wife comes from the long line of Henry Hudson descendants mixed with Scottish Congregationalist ship builders.

Our children do not stand a chance.

I did a genealogy test and the results were shocking.

It turns out my real mother, Sally Jesse Raphael, and my real father, Lee Marvin, had something of a fling back in the 60s during the time of free love and LSD.  It all happened at a wild party thrown by Ernie Borgnine at his home "high" (literally and figuratively) in the Pacific Palisades.

9 months later, Paul Dallas was born in the backseat of a taxi cab after SJR was thrown out of Universal Studios during filming of "The Dirty Dozen".   She was extremely upset over Lee's infidelities and had to be escorted off the set after it was discovered she had destroyed Lee's entire GI wardrobe with a pair of scissors, . . . and when confronted, she flew into a violent rage, yelling at the cast and crew and even picked up one of the studio's props, a fully loaded grease gun (M3 submachine gun) aiming it wildly at everyone.  She also pulled a pin on a live grenade.  Fortunately, due to Charlie Bronson's heroic and tender actions that day, filming on this monolithic masterpiece was able to continue immediately.  He was able to talk her down and get her a cab, and just a block outside the studio gates, she went into labor, and he delivered the baby.  She asked Charlie to be Pauls godfather and they remained in close contact for many years.

Thank you for letting me share with you this very personal subject.

We know that one or two males from each generation of the German fam came here from the 1820s-1890’s, with my g-g-grandpa being the last. No contact with them, though I see the names on FB. Even discovered a branch that went east & settled in Romania in the 1850’s.

From what I’ve been able to dig up, we lost one in the Spanish-American War & 5 or 6 total on both sides of both World Wars.
