    Default An intresting fact about the real SFTS

    Well Ive out something intresting today so everyone gather round. My Granmum traced her side of the family although back to 1545 to Portsmouth England. now thats cool but the really cool thing is John Proctor the opinated tavern owner who spoke out agianst the Salem witch trials and was latter hung for it is my Greatx15 grandad. Oh it gets better! Now he was convicted and hung but so was his wife however she was spared due to the fact she was preagnant. So my life couldve ended 400 years ago if they had decided to hang my greatx15 grandmum. I know this may scare you as a world without me may have had dire dire consquences but I felt yall should know
    There, but for the grace of God, goes John Bradford

    My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

    I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.

    I'm related to Llewilyn the Last, but I don't go around telling everybody about it. English Folks might think I've got an aire of self importance or something.

    Yes, I think the Welsh will kill you first tho. They have a history of being down-trodden on by the English.

    Well, from the Welsh I've met, they don't particularly care whether I'm related to him or not. The English just seem mean though when you mention ancestry... like "I can't believe rabble like you could've been descended from us."

    In general don't call a Welsh person English. It's like calling a Canadian an American etc

    Not really, when you consider that all it takes is for two people at any point in your ancestry to have simply not met for you to cease to exist.. Aren't we lucky to be here?

    Impressive stuff SFTS. The only sure ancestor I can find of any acclaim was a fellow named John Adshead..
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Seems strange that the wife was spared just because she was pregnant. Considering the atmosphere, I would have figured that they would have tagged the baby as the spawn of Satan, and torched her as well.

    Yeah, we have a low tolerance for Londoners down here.

    Nice to see the genes of drink addled sailors and Pompey brutes have made it across the oceans and survived the centuries!

    I wish I had a x15 grandpa that was a witch, I’d give him a call on the ouija board.

    It would be funny if someone here traced their ancestry back to a x15 grandpa who was a Salem witch hunter. Well, funny in a weird, uncomfortable way.

    Yes, I like family history. Good stuff. I believe my Irish side fell out of the sky, for I know nothing of it, but my Armenian side is the family of St. Vartan-

    Yes, that wood happen to a people that have constantly been kidnapped by fairies and englishmen and trasnported to places like Australia, Barbados, America, everywhere else.
    Probably common in the Welsh too and same with the Scots.

    Interesting STFS... So your last name is Proctor right?
    But I also believe that if anyone could trace their family history back a couple of hundred of years, we all will be finding interesting information in our distant past.
    Of course in my case, that history ended when my great grandfather died before he could tell anything to my grandfather, the only information wich I could gather was that he came here as an inmigrant from Italy (i.e. nothing interesting)...
