Okay folks...I'm not sure what my 'ancestry' is...

Postby Phil Hoover » June 2nd, 2004, 11:42 am

and at this point in my life, it doesn't matter, a whole heck of a lot...LOL

I'm part this, part that...and probably some of this...and that...

So who really cares...

I live in the Windy City...where we have more than 100 nationalities represented all the time...

And in HEAVEN, every tribe and tongue will be there....

Born in Alabama
Educated in TN.

And bound for GLORY!

Mother's paternal grandmother was Cherokee.
Mother's paternal great-grandfather lived on Oklahoma reservation.

One of my paternal great (x5) grandfathers (Kaiser) was born in Palatinate, Germany in 1710. Family migrated to America in 19th c., through N.C. and Georgia and eventually to Alabama and a daughter married a Shelton.

Don't know much about the genealogy beyond that.

My great-great grandfather was a Confederate soldier and was wounded in the Battle of Seven Pines, VA.

I wish I knew.

I only know of a little here and there. Some Chickasaw a few generations back on my mom's side I heard, but no one knows for sure. Apparently the one person who would have known for sure was humiliated to say.

I also heard a story that someone traces our family back to a first cousin of George Washington.

Don't know anything about half of my dad's biological side of the family and probably never will.

The only thing I know for sure is that the most recent generations come out of Kentucky (mom's side) and near-Kentucky (dad's side)..... so the truest thing I say is that I was raised by a pack of wild hillbillies.

Actually, I do like the Nashville area - just not Eastern TN


Having lived in both areas, I gotta say that East is better, except for the STUPID EASTERN TIMEZONE! In that regard, central is best! And to think, I lived in the shelter of this girls home at one time a LOOOOONG time ago! Go VOLS! (You are just mad because you get BEAT all the time!) ;=)
The Bible calls children a blessing and debt a curse, but in our culture we apply for curses and reject blessings.

There is only one race- the human race. We're all members. The concept of race (and its corollary "racism") is a deception in and of itself.

The Poll is closed I guess since it already has the results. I always choose Caucasion on polls like this but I actually have quite a lot of Choctaw Native American in me.
