I'm descended from Captain John Underhill, a colonial militia officer who was so lethal in combat the Indians simply gave up after he murdered the first couple thousand with just a hundred men in his company, and the Dutch built the Wall Street fortification to keep him at bay, to which he responded by building a house across the street on the ground where Trinity Church now stands.

My great great grandmother used to be in the contraband of alcohol between Italy and Jugoslavia, she got arrested once and she spent a night in jail.

I have a fairly interesting family history but of all them the greatest irony is that my great grandfather was one of the most prolific early 20th century non-Jewish Zionists in the United Kingdom.
He was a commander of the Jewish Legion during the Palestine Campaign in 1917 where he became friends with Benzion Nethanyahu, he became godfather to Yonatan (who was named after him) and Benjamin ( the current PM of Israel). He even had a stamp produced to commemerate his death and he was eventually interred in Israel near where his unit lost many of their men.
convicts?
some grandfather like 100 odd years ago killed 12 family members on christmas, escaped jail after a year and killed another guy.
was then shot.
my grandads father was very very high up in british navy responsible for killing a fair few gooks
no, I could ask my mother, she's doing this research
why?
Great grandpa (mother's maternal side) was german living in Croatia and served the SS in there. Another Grandpa (mother's paternal side) fought against Tito's partisans in what now is Bosnia.
Grandpa (father's side) served under Franco in Spain before coming here.
Fighting commies is in my blood
Just curious
>Great-great-grandpa and his brother lived in a village in central Bosnia during Ottoman occupation

>They had cooked a cauldron of bean stew
>The Turks wanted to eat all their stew and leave them starving
>the brothers took axes, killed the Turks, chopped them into bits and fed them to their pigs
It's a family story, not sure if true, but fills me with pride regardless.

There are cities, streets and castles in Germany that bear our family name. Politically and economically, we have always been important.
Also, one of my grandfathers (from fathers side) was in the Ustase, and the other one (from mothers side) was in the communist partisan resistance. They supposedly crossed paths during the war, and then met again when my parents started going out.
everyone on my moms side(including her) have died from breast cancer. rotting titty clan.
I am a descendant of Orson Pratt, an original member of the Quorum of Twelve Apostles of the Church of the Latter Day Saints (aka Mormons).
He was a polygamist. If it wasn't for the fact that he banged like eight broads, I wouldn't be here today.
Including the men?

My ancestors were KANGS AND QUEENS.
My grandfather was a workaholic who had a bunch of medals. Too bad I didn't look into them. He also probably had a gun, but my memories of it are really blurry. He was also probably a commie, but that's uncertain
My ancestor was a Field Hetman in Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.

My granfather was a sailor and he traveled around the globe twice
My great grandfather was a flying ace during WW2. He had 9 confirmed victories.
He was in the RCAF.
Ah I was wondering because that would be pretty rare for a line of men. My condolences for the loss of you mother.
Yeah I know, lots of people don't seem to realise men can get it. Probably because men that do get it are embarassed.
And nice work, I was purposely vague to see if anyone could figure out who it was.
Not very vague, really
There are hundreds of pages about you grandfather on Israeli news
Don't think it'll be wise to answer this in an FBI honeypot thread, but are you Scot or are you Alan? After John's son it's all very murky

My grandfather was a huge Lithuanian communist, he was an artillery batallion commander in the Red Army during WW2. After the war ended, he was still involved in the communist politics, so there were 3 assasination attempts on him by Lithuanian rebels. In the third attempt, they gathered up his family in his house, shot all of them infront of his eyes, and just as they were about to shoot him, he managed to jump out the window and escape. He picked up his then at the time girlfriend (my grandmother) and ran to Latvia, where he lived out his days, having 12 children. He died in 1987.
I found this out only about 2 weeks ago.
