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

Frisians used to be so cool. Very obsessed with autonomy and freedom. They got tricked because of Protestantism then and socialism/neopaganism now though.
