A Peek Into My World

 

For the past 20 years, I've been researching my family history as I've been told stories of some really shady things my family was doing from both of my parents sides.  Some really cool things I found out:

- I am the 8th cousin of Daniel Boone.  

- My family line connects with Loretta Lynn's through the Boone line, although we are not genetically related.

- My 5th Great Grandfather was a murderer and was run out of town.

- My 4th Great Grandfather, his son was a preacher and was one of the founders of the Marme Baptist Church, still in existence today.  He was also one of the first settlers of his colony.

- My grandmother and great aunt were kidnapped by Georgia Tann and were missing for three years.

- I come from a mob family on both sides of my lineage.  

- I come from a family of bootleggers

- I have an uncle who was hung for stealing a horse.

- Two secret adoptions.

- 73% of my DNA is Italian/Polish. (it takes ONE Polish person to screw in a lightbulb.) 😂

Other weird and interesting facts.....
