Werong Bustope posted:He's talked about doing something like this in the past but never went through with it. He's not come out and said as much, but I think he doesn't really want to know. He has talked about how, as a kid, he would imagine his father as a member of the aristocracy or a GI or something similarly glamourous* but in his heart he always assumed it was just some Glaswegian docker like everyone else he's related to. Ah yeah, if he's Ashkenazi, that will make things less clear; you are all pretty much related to each other in 5 different ways, so detangling Ashkenazi DNA connections is much harder. Though if any very close relatives had also tested (1st cousins or closer) from that side, you'd still have an answer. Though you would at least be able to tell if his bio father is Ashkenazi as well.

My family's most shocking Skeleton Reveal was the part where they hid my dead body in front yard.They just left me there in plain broad daylight, that's a great hiding spot. P.S. I died while writing this message.

rakovsky maybe posted:As the story goes my Sicilian great-grandfather and great-grandmother were in love but their families wouldn't allow them to get married. So one night my great-grandfather captured my great-grandmother and hid her in the roof of a barn. All night her brothers searched for her but they couldn't find her. When the morning came he let her go, but since she had spent the night with a man she had to marry him. Well, it may be that or it may be not... that phenomenon is, was, called "fuitina" (little escape), and basically in the early 20th century rural Sicily it was the only way two lovers who wanted to marry could override their families wishes: they eloped, spent a night and then went home. If you dishonored a young woman her father and his brothers would have to choose between: letting you marry the girl or instead kill you with the murder basically going unpunished (killing for the family honour was considered a petty crime until 1981) keep your bastard son around and keep the daughter at home unmarried. limaCAT fucked around with this message at 15:59 on Nov 20, 2015 |
