Your background

Well as North America becomes a melting pot more and more, it'll be harder to trace ancestry with each coming generation. Seriously, we already have people-mutts. I know a few.

Actually, it's kind of funny to think of the first person to have ancestry from every major country. What a feat that would be, am I right.

Well, I just mean considering I was able to track my family back to the 1600's super easily. I even found the country, race, religion, why they left, the name of the person who came here, what he did, and if I looked at the family tree, I could tell you the day he was born and died.

Did you get your information online or something or does family just keep track of it well? Do you actually have a family tree paper?

We actually have the actual family tree.

Its on many many sheets of paper unfolded to make a huge colossus of history.


It only starts with the first person to come to Canada though, but it says where he came from.

And then I checked online.

We don't have anything like that that I know of...

I know nothing about my mom's side of the family, and my knowledge of my dad's side has to do with two specific ancestors.

The first is not that interesting... Samuel McCutchan (I think the spelling was different then, though) was the first of that side of the family in America; from Scotland.

The other is more interesting. My great*8 grandfather was General Edward Braddock, supreme commander of the British forces in America during the Seven Years'/French and Indian War (at least he died in a stupid ambush...*grumble*). He's close enough of a relative, that my great-grandmother's maiden name was Braddock. It was with my great-grandparents (my dad's dad's mom and dad) that the Braddock and McCutchan lines mixed.

I remember from elementary school when we had to make family trees...

what a bitch that was.
