Heredity

Prepare for this: the ancestry of Dylan Emborough.

On one side of my family you'll find English, Dutch, Swedish, Finnish, and Irish blood. The Emboroughs came from a tiny 150-person village in Somerset named Emborough. It soon evolved into my last name. The Dutch blood was the Van Ruyeen, Van Swol, Bartels, etc. lines. They came over to America and married into the Swedish line, the Skutes and Loms, who married into the Adamson line, which married into the Co... line. There's also some Cherokee blood on the Co... side, but I know virtually nothing about it, only that a Cherokee hunting party that contained my who-knows-how-many-greats great grandma. The Cherokee party found an English base, and some were hostile, but a select few went west to IL, and they got a little, uh, friendly.

Now for the Gr... side. The Gr...s are a farming family. My 5th great grandpa Benjamin Gr... owned a thousand slaves in Virginia, and one of his ancestors was the second colonial governor of Maryland, Thomas Gr.... His dad was a knight, knighted by King James the something, and his dad was a knight, and his dad was a knight, and so on, and so on, until we get to a Sir Thomas Norton Gr.... Now this is interesting. His dad was (a knight) named something Norton, and he had, you know, with another woman that wasn't his wife, and one of my ancestors was born. He took on the alias Gr... to hide his illegitimacy. If traced far enough back, you'll get back to the Tosny family (Norman), and some Holy Roman Emperors: Charles II 'the Bald', his dad Louis I 'the Pious', and his dad, the one and only, CHARLEMAGNE (Frankish). There is also some French blood on the Gr... side (Mu...), and here's the story of the Pe... line:

The Pe...es are a German family. Robert Pe... was born on Christmas day in Germany. He had a son with Henrietta St... named Henri Pe.... Robert died of stomach cancer a little after, and I have a pic of him. Henri Pe... married Carrietta Ge..., daughter of German Matthias Ge... and Mary Ku.... The Gerbers were a wealthy family after moving to IL from poverty and starvation in Germany. They took grape vines and clay brick-making knowledge, and made a huge business and millions of dollars off them. Carrie inherited the winery and bricks, and she married Henri Pe.... Henri got into gambling and alcohol, and he bankrupted the family. Carrie died of either colon or ovarian cancer in 1927. Henri lived to 1974 and then died a peaceful death. On the Ba.../Sn... side there is a history of lactose intolerance, and I have it on and off.

There you go.

Yeah. I told my grandma that if Clinton gets elected I'm raising the Hodinian Flag and declaring independence. On second thought, I should do that if any candidate gets elected this year. Micronationalists like me look for the perfect excuse to secede, and this election may be the one.
