all schools really
I had to research my family’s history and heritage since my grandparents never bothered teaching my parents
i mean even then if you know your ethinc backround you should pass that on as well as american history
My little cousin has no hope as he live too far away for me to see him often and he has no make role model in his immediate family
He’s already getting brainwashed by public schooling
My Dad tried his best to teach me about his family history but unfortunately because of how splintered his family his(His dad is the son of a Spaniard who moved to Bolivia and his mom his a second gen German immigrant who’s disappeared off the face of the earth)
It’s difficult to learn much
i dont really think thats unfortunate he has a colorful history to draw upon
and ethnic backround
It is, it’s unfortunate because his family is very splintered
and of course american history in general
We don’t know where a lot of his relatives went
then it would be unfortunarte that his family is splintered
im not just talking about family members though
He learned a lot of his history later in his life because of this
I know, I’m quite proud of my german and Bolivian/Spanish heritage
same but also my American heritage
100 percent
I love reading about my ancestors that took part in various historical events, probably my favorite is my Great x 4 grandfather who passed on his Springfield that he used during the civil war
its good to keep track of those sorta things
Or my Great uncle who’s bomber was shot down over the Netherlands and he was buried in our ancestral plot there
(My mom’s side is Dutch and german)
I plan to take a trip over there to see it
Just make sure to ignore Amsterdam, otherwise you'll get that paris syndrome those japs have
Roger that
I want to visit Westphalia as well, my German side is from there
Where in Westphalia, I have no clue and need to research
Checking church registers is vital for that. I traced a german ancestor from the reformation that way
I’ve gotten all the way back to 1625 on the Dutch side through church records
fucking prots brought about the fall of the west by undermining the traditonal order
what a tragedy
i was watchingh some documentaries on wars that took place because of the reformation
nice going, I only got 1700 so far. 30 years war lmao, biggest german rape in history next to the world wars
they have whats coming to them as its mostly tyher prot countries that are fucked except for maybe ireland
I was wrong, 1615 born in Friesland
But anyways, the Protestants ruined everything
the alt right was a mistake
a costly lesson
