Were your parents/grandparents /forefathers.....

Oh, I forgot, one of my ancestors was hanged at York.

Apparently he was the leader of a gang who were sharing things that didn't belong to them.

I'd tell you but I'd have to kill you.

Same here.

My grandad was in the british army..and then in the navy i think. My great grandfather was in the great war as a foot soldier.

Both my Grandads were in the Merchant navy during WWII and lived to tell about it , Boy did they ever tell about it . Both good men I miss them both .

Where your parents/grandparents /forefathers active participants in any historical event?
such as
Berlin wall, Responsible for the great depression, WWII, the death of Anna Frank, WWI, Korea, the events in Japan, Tjschernobyle, responsible for creating windows 95, importing slaves from africa or any other family tradition?

all depends whether the Bible tells the truth or not...but... my Father was Adam....

For some reason my gran and my grandad spent the whole of the second WW in Berlin and had to smuggle my mum out of there to Belgium in 1942. I never quite found out what it was they were doing there...

My mother was evicted from Ismalia, Egypt during the Suiz Canal crisis, when Egypt decided they didn't want any Greeks living in their country. She moved as a refugee to Glasgow and remembers being taught English by scary Scottish nuns. She has a weird accent now.

My parents created me.

Historical indeed.

Cheeses boss is related to the man who captained the Titanic.

Ironic indeed for a man who runs a travel company

[Skiz]

Almost forgot.

My grandfather also was the lead engineer in designing the Cooper River Bridge in South Carolina as well as the Harbor Bridge in Corpus Christi.

Probably 40 or 50 years ago he introduced the idea of using neoprene rubber as a seismic pad to elongate the life of bridges. It is now a standard worldwide.
