Don’t know. Don’t care. Someone came on a boat from somewhere a long time ago, don’t care

I'm pretty sure if you go back far enough I am descended from the extraterrestrials that helped you Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons evolve into modern humans.

You may now establish me as your Supreme Ruler.

23 and Me says 91% Italian, 4% Lebanese, 4% Sub Saharan African, 1% unknown. Sounds about right. Parents both born in Italy. Dad in Tuscany, mom in Napoli. But it's that f'ing 1% keeps me up at night.

Some older family members have traced our lineage to Georgia and the line disappears.

So I come from a long line of frontiersmen and outdoor types. Or convicts, for those of you who insist on historical accuracy.

I've got seven different homologues in my DNA which is pretty damn rare. It also makes me a mutt. I know this from work in forensic pathology but refuse to submit to private organizations because of a general lack of bioethics laws.

What makes the red man red?
In my case, at least for me, being an Irish Indian.

Mix that red with my lilly white European ancestry and I am an OMB!

Anyone whose family was living in the South before the war most likely has a Confederate ancestor. Three of my great grandfathers, many uncles, and cousins served. Most have Confederate headstones on their graves supplied by the VA.

My grandmother traced our family back and I remember her saying it was Scottish and some such.
