How much do you know about your family?

[PaulKrawitz]

I know practically nothing about my family...

The only family I have are my father and mother; apparently, both of them had some sort of fight with their respective families and decided to cut ties with them, a few months before I was born...

I never met other members of my bloodline; I don't know if I have grandparents or anyone else.

My parents also refuse to talk about their families, so I have no idea what happened.

Their families also never bothered to contact me, so I guess I wasn't that important to them to begin with. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a mother, a younger brother, and a 7yr old niece. Everyone else has died. My brother won't have any more, so we're the end of our family name. There are a few very famous people with my name, but we're not related at all. If we were I'd be mega rich and politically connected at the highest levels, but nope.

Well that's easy for me. My father's side of the family are all Italian born and raised. Except for my father and my two aunts. They were all born in Italy, but they emigrated to America. The only living relatives on my mother's side is my mom herself, and her older brother.

quite a bit on my Fathers side and some on my Mothers side.

Traced back ancestors and relatives to Europe for a few generations.

I know more about their parents than they do.

Mother passed when I was 4, related to illegal stuff
Father was a criminal that served the last years of his life in prison for multi felonies
Grandparents was a stay at home wife and a blue collar husband. Both were heavy drinkers
Older brother is a blue color heavy drinker
Brother my age around died to illegal stuff
Younger brother Idk, I've only seen his facebook. But the few images I saw he looked in shape and married

My only sister makes content online that I pick not to view for obvious reasons and names herself after illegal stuff.

Before 1900s not much is known about my family. But what I do know is my great great great grandfather basically lived on the hillsides of Southern China. Due to persecution (if you’re wondering what I am my ethnicity is Miao/Hmong) he fled the country and lived somewhere between the boarders of Laos and Thailand. He then had kids and they spread across South East Asia; some living in Thailand and some living in Vietnam. Due to war from the Japanese Invasion in World War 2, to the Vietnam War, and the Sino-Vietnamese War a lot of my family members fled Asia and moved to the United States and some to Hong Kong. Crazy enough I still have distance family members who still lived in China as well. As for me I’m first generation.

My dad is from Thailand and my mom is from Laos tho my mom lived in Hong Kong for a bit too.

More than I want to know. Some of them are not worth knowing.

My great great great Grandfather Heinrich Von Buz owned the company M.A.N. in Germany where the diesel engine was invented. He knew Rudolph Diesel.

Oh snap!! That’s pretty cool.

My sister was really little when the cops arrested dad. And it really shows that she grew up without a dad.

I passed up the book on him and his disappearance off The Dresden. Interesting seeing your comment so soon after looking at the book by Douglas Brunt.
