I was bored today, and decided to look into mine, in some semi-detail.

And I'm pleased.

My family is from Haute-Savoie, which is now a part of France, Along with Savoie, but they left Haute-Savoie in the 1600's to come to Canada (which wasnt really Canada at the time, obviously), and Haute-Savoie didnt give in and join France until the 1860's. So not only am I not French, I'm totally Canadian. This is a great day.

Anyways, one of my relatives, André Rapin was the first to write a book on the History of England, or something along those lines. He was also a doctor, and the first called to look at the bodies at some sort of battle that happened in Quebec. (And yes, I checked it on the family tree, so I'm not guessing I'm related to him.)

And also (apparently, this one I havent checked on the family tree.) there is this Danish, or Swiss music composer (still alive) who is "famous" in Europe, who I'm related to. If thats true, that will blow my mind.

So I wanted to find a flag of Haute-Savoie, and I was let down when I descovered the flag is that of Switzerland, but the white is outlined in a thin line of black.

So discouraged.

Anyways, does anyone else know anything about their families, and things like that?
