anyone here with crpg related interesting people in there families?

[Torben]

on my romanian side my family had a medieval thief king and a bunch of generations later a knight from the order of michael viteazul.  later even rode an arrabian horse ^^
same dude married in castle bran.  lots of cool stories but a bit timid of writing about them here.

my german fathers side is even more interesting:  they were peasant!   

anyone else? : )

My brother is Apsalar_BRD. That strength ping-crutching spammer.

However, in all (though the above is true) seriousness...I've got an Uncle who was a military commander for an oppressive country. My grandfathers were both mechanics who were working for the Royal Navy when the Japanese came. We don't quite know how they survived unscathed, but there was some 'human sacrifice' shit involved.

I've got a lot of family members with odd cosmopolitan backgrounds.

My aunt is a celebrity chef within the Canadian Indian community. Those weirdos.

Ultimately, the oddest thing must be that I can't trace my family beyond my grandparents on either side.

I find these thing quite silly, because if you follow your family line all the way to the middle-ages, theres so huge amount of ancestors, that everyone has some kind of interesting persons there. Different thing ofc if you only look at your paternal heritage which isn't very modern or rational in biological way of seeing things.

But carry on

ah dude it aint about bragging but about how sick it is what people in some kind related to you actually endured.  life writes the best stories,  and your grandparents are probably the best storytellers : )

just the way my mothers parents met and ultimately married is a better lovestory then 99% of all stories ever filmed.  ofc the war is a sick background for things to happen...

my mom had a kid that also happens to be my brother

Sorry to be so grumpy in your thread 

[Zlisch_The_Butcher]

My family can be traced down to our time in early medieval England as nobility, got a shitty coat of arms and everything.

[Torben]

Sorry to be so grumpy in your thread 

its ok,  if alcohol was here as expensive as in finland I would always be grumpy ^^

any cool stories along the way zlisch?

[Havoco]

Got a common surname from English nobility. That's about it really. My family kinda skipped WW2. Either being too young or old to see the front lines.

[Overdriven]

Can run my mother's family name all the way back to some Danish lord who had a lot of land in England in the 14th century or something like that but supposedly the name can be traced back all the way to the 8th century overall.

I got quiet interested in my families past at one point and talked to a bunch of my relatives about it. Found out a few cool things.

Being Scottish my family belong to a clan ofc mine being the Fraser clan link for interested peeps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Fraser) interestingly my name and clan origionaly came from France. From the 12th century onwards my clan and ancestors fought in every major Scottish conflicts including Jacobites rebellion, 7 year war and also in the American Revolution.

In more recent times both my grandads were in WW2 my papa on my fathers side was a radioman for the Fraser Highlanders. On D Day he was loaned to a regiment of American troops who didnt have proper radio equipment he also liased with the British for this regiment.

My other papa on my mothers side was to young to be in the army at the time but did join the local "Home Guard". He guarded the plane that einsteins bumchum flew into Scotland with.

Pretty cool stuff, i have other stories aswell but these are for me 

[IR_Kuoin]

I guess I can add to this list; my ancestors were poor farmers (most likely), and before that poor viking farmers, and the son of the family went out on raids because only one of the sons could inherit the fathers farm.

Wish I knew stuff like this about my ancestors.
