Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

my family tree goes something like this.
we start at the centre

athens and piraeus

then we move apart a little bit and we have
zakynthos, aigina, peloponese, and athens again


then deep into the past the trails stop at zakynthos, peloponese, aigina and constantinople. my great grandfather escaped constantinople before 1920 sensing the troubles that would befall the greek people there but he also was a bit of a rolling stone and under persecution there too, for forgery. my mother went there and saw her grandfather's house. it is still there. a turkish grandfather lives there now. when she told him she was from greece the old turk teared up and said in the past all those were greek. maybe he even knew my great grandfather

Evil for sure. Finland... possibly, but not the last 4-5 generations. My family tree seemed so boring I gave up researching it before I even started

then if you go even further from my maternal grandmother side even before that small village in peloponese then you come shoulder with shoulder with italy for a bit (based on last name). but then again there's got to be a connection with crete somehow too, again judging from last name but no family memories of it.

My ancestors all came over before WWI, though I imagine that my Italian family may well have been fascisti had they stayed. Apparently my great-great-grandfather served in the Italian cavalry and killed Southern Italian peasants.

My German great-great-grandfather was sent a letter from Kaiser Wilhelm II himself asking him to return to Germany to fight in the Great War. Aside from the fact that he was an old man by that point, he was a rather patriotic American, so instead he burned the letter (for fear of being considered a traitor if it was discovered). Woulda been nice as a family heirloom.

Az, this way it's cool. You can make it up yourself. Let's say .. your father was a hardcore supercommando for the .. Hannibal, and he personally sliced a big wound to Alexander the Great. It was the Kalenputh Secret Society that erased this information, in order to glorify Alexander. But he was definitely hardcore and could throw knives like a superhero. He learned this trade from his dad, and it goes all the way back to ,,, human existence. All of them. Supercommandos.

etc. Is this a good one or would you like another history? We can make him famous writer, , musician, what ever.
