My heritage is -- complicated, and basically unknown lol. I was adopted by my paternal grandparents (bio 'dad's' parents) but HE was from a relationship prior to when my grandparents met, so I know nothing about my bio 'mother' / bio grandmother's heritages, outside of vaguely recalling being told dad got a German woman pregnant when he was in the military, lol. If I had German blood it wouldn't surprise me in the least considering I am quite stocky and big boned. Like, literally BIG BONED, lmao. Thick and sturdy like a tree trunk.

What I do know is that my dad's family line is supposedly English -- did a little research a long time ago and apparently an ancestor came over with the colonists, supposedly on the Mayflower, but who knows if that's true. I look very English too though, so more'n likely it's English and German. I do know they were settlers though, my paternal great-grandmother's family even has a town in Indiana named after them. I come from hardy pioneer stock, woo!

My mom was Native - Apache, though I don't know the specifics of her tribe. Her family settled in the Kentucky mountains back in the 1900s and basically assimilated to survive, so she didn't know anything about her Native history. I know she was really sad about that, I wish I could have helped her find out some stuff. I plan to try to trace it myself someday when I get the time.

Haha I remember being really small and asking her once when my skin was going to turn dark like hers, and she told me it wouldn't, and I actually started crying. xD I just wanted to look like my mama! She had a really hard time of it, trying to be accepted by my dad's ultra fundie Christian family, it's one of the reasons I have nothing to do with them now. >_> Bad blood there.

Some of his family's also from the Appalachia region so there's probably Scottish in me somewhere too, it would seem likely, considering. Cultural wise though, I grew up in a lil rural country town, grew up on a 16 acre farm, lived in a trailer, all the stereotypes lol. Typical Baptist religious upbringing, til I was 12 and told I had the choice as to whether I wanted to attend church or not. Never did again. Half my family's made up of preachers on my dad's side, Southern Baptist elite. Good luck to 'em.

...shit this was long xD
