Cool Family Stories

[Ac3xAssasin 453]

So, do you guys know any kind of cool/interesting stories about your family.  

 

 

Here's mine which I just learned about the other day: my (I don't remember how many greats) grandfather born in 1790 served during the War of 1812 fighting in the war of 1812 under General Andrew Jackson in the Battle of New Orleans, but not only that apparently after the war Andrew Jackson became good friends with my family at one point he actually lived with them for a period during his campaign for president.

Hmmm... interesting stories about my family...

 

I don't know if my father being incarcerated 15 times in 11 years all in the same Florida county counts, but...

 

Yeah.

My parents were married when I was born.  My father was born in 1924, my mother was born in 1970.  Doing the math for you, he was 67 and she was 21 when I was born.  I have a sister who is 2 years younger.  How do I know, my parents' birthday's are on my birth certificate.

Apparently one of my ancestors came over on the mayflower.

There is a rumor in my family that one of my relatives escaped with a baby on the underground railroad or something.

My mom was raised around the period when Tupac and Notorious BIG were still around, and she remembers almost everything from that period way before I was born.
