Hello!

How are you all doing? I know I don't blog as much as I used to but I been kept busy with my family tree. I know, you don't give a flying beep about it. But I found so many stories about my family, it's like a soap opera. How one person slept with another and the other killed another, it's really interesting. Reason why I have not paid attention to my blog. Plus it's September: girls are back in school, wife works every day and I have all day to research my family genealogy.

It's not because I'm getting worst or something, it's just that I found another project in which I'm interested. I still have stories I have to say about my illness and how I am coping with it, but I like to find out about the family's dirty little secrets. You know, the skeletons in the closet!

For example, my great-grandmother married a man and had kids with him, yet the kids carry their mothers family name and not the husbands like custom has it. Makes you wonder,ummm.... I wonder if they got divorce or the guy just left her with three kids?

Another one is that my grandfather's family name is different than what I know, than what I am called.... in this case I have to believe history, I am called like this therefore my grandfather's name was never changed.

I know it's complicated, when trying to explain this to my wife this morning she got the dumb puppy eyes look.

- "Wait, wait, wait! So your grandmother had a half-sister with a man who was your friend's uncle?"

- "No, no, no! My grandmother had a sister that doesn't appear in the family tree of a relative of mine. Because in 1771 there was a family member that was kidnapped by aliens Gypsys, get it?"

All of this to say that is very complicated as you backtrack in time and everyone has their own opinions. Now I am going to try to get in contact with the oldest cousin of the clan, it seems she's a very secluded person and it's going to be difficult but everybody's telling me that if anybody knows the story of our family it's her.

Who knows, maybe she'll tell me that I'm related to the friend of a cousin who used to date her garbage man's friend and that we originated from China and not Spain like everybody thinks.


At the end all I know is is that I don't know anything.
