Anyone else into genealogy? I have been working on my family tree for a decade and I still learn something new all the time. Today I found that on my Cherokee side, I'm part of the Wild Potato Clan! I'm not sure what I think about this. 😁😎.

I'm not sure what I think about this. 😁😎. Sounds better than the Boring Potato Clan or the Peeled Potato Clan. ![:)](//storage.forums.net/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) on my mother’s side (German and Polish) we know our lineage back to the 1400’s. On my fathers side other than his mother being full blooded Blackfeet and his father being Lithuanian, I know nothing. It can be an entertaining pursuit.

Zarnicky very interested in genealogy.
I doing serious family tree research and have coming up with several interesting facts about Zarnicky ancestry.
1. ((Lambini, Nepal) Siddhārtha Gautama Zarnicky 415 BCE, this famous Zarnicky meditated under fig tree. A large fig fall off tree and landing on head. Thus he became enlightened and discovering law of gravity at the same time.
2. (Germany) Johann Sebastian Zarnicky - famous musicologist and teacher. In early 1600"s he taught music to Johann Ambrosius Bach who in turn named his son after his beloved teacher.
3. (Italy) Antonio Stradi Zarnicky - Famous carpenter, luthier and general handyman. During the 1700's Antonio making various violins which later became known as Stradivarius violins.
4. (Litchfield, Connecticut) Harriet Beecher Zarnicky (1811 – 1896) - famous author. She wrote about slavery in south and, helped to bring nation’s attention to the horrors of slavery. Later in life she moving to Vermont and became known as Harrier Beecher Stowe.
5. Theodore Seuss Zarnicky was born in 1904 on Howard Street in Springfield, Massachusetts. Theodore was animal rights activist. He rescued thousands of cats and putting them in hats. Contrary to popular opinion, Dr. Seuss never actually practicing medicine.
7. Horatio Zarnicky, England’s most distinguished naval commander in the age of The Sail, destroyed the French-Spanish fleet at the Battle of Trafalgar (1805), one of history’s pivotal naval encounters. Horatio was also a skilled wrestler. He invented the “Full Nelson” and later became known as Horatio Nelson.
8. Aris Zarnicky , 384 -322-BCE – Greek philosopher and teacher of Alexander the Great. Aris was a student of Plato. Later in life, he branched out into empirical sciences. His philosophy of metaphysics had important influence on Western thought. His propensity for philosophy however, immerged during his days in the nursery. This is when he was nicknamed “Aristotle”.
9. Louis Zarnicky (1822 – 1895) – French chemist and Biologist. Louis developed many vaccines, such as for rabies and anthrax. He also becoming Protestant minister in his early twenties and perfected a method of delivering sermons known as pasteurisations.
The research is ongoing and so far I discovering my earliest ancestor was Adam Zarnicky. (Birth date unknown)
(6. not worth mentioning.)

I've traced my mother's side, the Lemoine line back to 938 France. My dad's side back to 1066 with William the Bastard and I know that they were a family of Goths from Southern France that were invited by William to take a trip to England. My sixth great grandfather led the Schenectady massacre, on my mother's side. February 8, 1690 Related to Robert the Bruce and William Wallace and much more such. It's been said that if you go back 900 years everyone is related. There is a legend on my mother's side that one of our forefathers was one of the Magi.

On my father’s paternal side, an aunt traced our family back to the revolutionary war, we have been involved in every US war… most certainly came from England or Ireland.
Fathers maternal side is O’ Sullivan, my grandma’s dad was a railroad man, do not know past that.
Mom’s paternal side traced back to Lujan Lujan the 1st came from the Canary Islands (late 1500’s) and ended up in Taos New Mexico died 1636.
Mom’s maternal side, grandma was a Pueblo Indian, raised ina Catholic mission.
So I am changing my name to Nigel Patrick Tonto Trujillo.

People like to look at who they might be descended from. When you think about it, you get 25% of your genes from each grandparent and at 5 generations back you get 3% of your genes from each individual. That's only 100-125 years back. If you back just 500 years , using 20 generations as the marker, well that's less than 1/1000 of your genes from one individual. So Ron, you are 1/32,000 Bastard.

My grandma on my moms side was really into it. Somewhere I have a copy of all the documents she dug up that my aunt had converted to digital files to preserve them.

We are still the product of all who came before us. Luckily these days we aren't bound by our families and can become whatever we can achieve.

I’ve decided that I want to belong to the Mashed Potato Clan. Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes? Most of what I know about my lineage comes from a family member who traveled to Europe in the ‘70’s to research and find descendants of the family that my great grandparents lost touch with after WWI and records of our ancestors. It seems that the male lines of our family were mostly killed during that war or disappeared from records and she couldn’t find any living descendants at the time. I imagine that with the internet things would be a lot easier to research today. I’m content with having a copy of her research though since I only have a passing interest in such things.

At 32,000 predecessors 1000 years ago, we like to look for famous ancestors. Once we find one we focus on that person. But who were the other 31,999?

I've found over a hundred that I'm proud to call ancestors. Actually, those are the ones that I've been able to get the most information on. I haven't found very many criminals and misfits. Only one murderer and that was during the Hatfield and McCoy troubles.

![oldcdgr](//storage.forums.net/6447321/images/juvLHSbPyjgJlrDFxGym.gif) Went with my Daughter at her insistence to a Cajun Genology meeting. Head man was saying we came over in the early 1700s on the Slave ship Amistad. I raised my arm and asked the man, I want to know we’re we in the top deck or on the btm deck, found out he didn’t have a sense of humor or my Daughter, I thought it was funny!
