beautiful!
I found something on youtube that was quite interesting. a history type link
guess I should have saved it
anyway, this was about Charles the 2, before our time. and yes I have always wanted to see the royalities lines and all. this was an amazing, and yes shocking thing here.
I didnât realize incest was so common but seems Charles was a product of this, from the great grandfather, they showed the various marriages and marriages of the family in that family. Charles, couldnât walk well, couldnât even eat due to his lower jaw protruding so bad, and so much more alilments. which I wonât go into details, and he also was not able to bear children.
so do we ask, should our ancestry stay a secret?? goodness!!

Thatâs why I have no interest whatsoever in Family Research. Let whatâs buried and forgotten there in oblivion lol specially if is a ââ dirty little secretââ that we didnât know existed and we need not to know it ever existed.
PS. Thatâs the consequences of incest: Birth defects, and poor Charles, is not like it was his fault. Sadly, the victim ends up carrying the burden of the person who did this evil from generation to generation. Life is so unfair.

My dad always told us. Never, ever, EVER marry European royalty. They are too inbred and suffer too many genetic ailments. (But maybe thatâs because his father was born in a country under the Hapsburg thumb and the inbred Hapsburgs of Austria are the biggest carriers of genetic defects.)
Oh! explanation for that âopinionâ, My great grandfather was a royal gardener on Fraz Josephâs (Emperor of the Austro-Hungarian empire) estate in Hungary. So he saw royalty close up and the opinion on royal breeding was that they were stupid. They bred their defects to each other instead of culling them. They emigrated to the US in 1904 and had greenhouses north of Chicago. They grew flowers for the Chicago flower markets.
No, I donât think our ancestors should be a secret. U.S. family culture is so fractured because of several generations where people uprooted and moved. People do not know who their ancestors are and often donât even know where they came from. You could end up marrying your cousin if you donât know who your relatives are.
At least I KNOW my family is not inbred.

What better birthmark for a baby than a tiny little heart on the forehead? Letâs hope that it stays and becomes a part of her forever. Hopefully, she was given a cute little name to match.

This woman was born with eyelashes growing in multiple rows. Sheâs lucked out, though, because there are women who pay lots of money to have their eyelashes look like this.

This little girl struggles with something called âuncomfortable hair syndrome.â It makes your hair hard to manage because it finds itself standing on end at almost all times, giving you some amazing looks.

At least she was born with the same number of fingers on each hand, so it looks normal until you really notice that there is something different about her hands.
I also found one with webbed fingers, two thumbs on each hand, and very ;long fingers.weird eyes, elf ears and more. wow I didnât realize this was so a thing!!!

Oh! We were talking about family somewhere above⊠
And I just remembered something last night.
My mom and I were visiting my grandfather back in 75??? Staying there a couple of days. At that time, my nomad grandparents were living in Palm Springs at a mobile home community that he managed at the time. So, I was walking around the park looking for him and found him talking to some residents in Spanish and introduced me as his grand-daughter in Spanish so I answered in Spanish. I was surprised because I only thought he spoke Portuguese and English. So on the way back to the house I was chattering away and then when we got close to the house my grandfather kind of hushed me, waved his hand downwards and muttered quietly, âOnly English nowâ. I was confused and asked why, and he just kind of gestured toward the house. âSheâll get mad.â
?!? I was stunned! Like, What?! Gramma #3 was a âEnglish onlyâ person. (And she married my grandfather? 
) Yea, she was âdifferentâ or maybe I should say, mainstream American? And we never knew much about her. She never discussed her family or where she came from. But she is why he never spoke to us in anything other than English. Language loss is a terrible thing. They were married before I was born. Whatâs funny is that my momâs mother once made a reference to âthat Johnson womanâ. YEARS later, I found out that gramma #3 was âthat JOHNSON woman!â 
Later on my mom told me her father also spoke Cantonese! Who would have thought? Fluent in 4 languages! She told me I got his gift with languages.

@frustradedwriter !
Oh yea. Iâve heard that and the twinning - is it fraternal or identical?
Some families have identical twins while others have fraternal. Fraternal twins usually follow female lines where you find 2 egg twins. The identical twins can be from either side - I donât know what the research shows for identical twin inheritance patterns.
Oh! I found something very interesting about traits! About tooth morphology. Kind of a weird story. BUT even though I am a blonde - youâd never guess I have ancestors from Japan, China and the Mexico, South America, etc. It shows up in the teeth. and⊠I canât drink alcohol or milk⊠makes me sick.
So story time. Years ago, my sister in law (who was like my little sister because all she had were brothers so she glommed onto me once her brother brought me home. 
) (She was from the Philippines) and her boyfriend, Herb the âherbâ (he did like his weed lol) were visiting and hanging out at my place. Herb had a face right off a Mayan stelae - He was from El Salvador. Old Mayan stelae - put jeans and a t-shirt on him and you have âHerb the herbâ. So, we were just sitting around, chitchatting and suddenly she kind of yelped in surprise.
Herb said, "Why are you feeling my front teeth?
I was like âWhat?!?â Very weird. So, little sister said, "You have weird teeth! "
Me and Herb were like âWhat ?!?â
Then she told Herb, âYou have scoops behind your front teeth!â
So out of curiosity, we both felt the backside of our front teeth, âYea, so. Mine are that way too. Arenât yours?â
"Really? she was surprised and came over and stuck her finger behind my front teeth.
âWhat the hell are you doing?â I asked her.
âThey are! Yours are just as bad as his.â
She said, âMine arenât like that!â
So yea, we just thought she was a weirdo. Like why would she even be feeling peopleâs teeth in the first place.
Ok. 30-ish years later I had a root canal on my lower baby molar, but I could not clear the infection. The dentist fussed with that tooth for a few weeks and finally I had to yank it.
THREE roots. The dentist was so surprised! he had never seen that before so I thought I was just a mutant. Me with super long hair and 3 root baby molar⊠but then I remember I had had an upper baby molar pulled too and that one only had ONE root rather than two and that dentist thought it was odd too.
So why all this stuff about teeth? - I got curious and looked up the teeth to find out how much of a mutant I was and I am not a âmutant.â Itâs a trait called Sinodont. So while I am a blonde My tooth traits are northern Asian and Americas - I have ancestors from all the areas below. Itâs just that the dentist (Idaho) had never seen this root trait before and it never showed up on the xray because of the rootâs position. If my dentist had experience with my kind of teeth it could have saved me an abcess. The only thing different is that my front teeth donât bend toward the center.
Sinodont
Turner found the Sinodont pattern in the Han Chinese, in the inhabitants of Mongolia and eastern Siberia, in the Native Americans, and in the Yayoi people of Japan.
Sinodonty is a particular pattern of teeth characterized by the following features:
The upper first incisors and upper second incisors are shovel-shaped, and they are ânot aligned with the other teethâ.[10] (The two front tend to turn in towards the center)
The upper first premolar has one root (whereas the upper first premolar in Caucasians normally has two roots), and the lower first molar in Sinodonts has three roots (3RM1) whereas it has two roots in Caucasoid teeth.[10][5]
Human migration patterns are so interesting.

I didnât either. It started with my silly little sister in law 30 years ago and then having my teeth yanked and finding they didnât have the ânormalâ number of roots. So I thought I was just a mutant.

If you canât find your ancestors in Family Tree <https://www.familysearch.org/tree/find/name>,
Historical Records <https://www.familysearch.org/search/>, or Memories <https://www.familysearch.org/photos/find> you can try FamilySearch Wiki <https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page>. In my country some Universitiesâ library have some genealogical books, so we can research them. Making a surname group in social media is a place that I use for asking about ancestors.
