OOOOPS they did it again!

Over the past 10 years or so, my sister has been doing genealogy and has found out some interesting tidbits!

The man my Dad said was his father DIED 4 years before he was BORN. He was actually the illegitimate son of a German/Russian (ie German living in Russia.) Oh, and he and his sister are the only two of the siblings that are fully biologically related. Granny had, let me see, 1,2,3,4, yes 4 husbands and then this lover that fathered my Dad and Auntie.

Mom, we knew was raised by someone other than her biological father, a man we all knew and loved as Grandpa. But her biological father, we just found out, was German/Russian!! Yes!

So, if Dad was 1/2 German, and Mom is 1/2 German, that would me ME 1/2 German (getting 1/4 from each)

10 years ago - all I really knew was Irish/Scottish and English. NOW I find I am really, really German!
