Social Family Legends

[aerius]

Most families have one of these folks; the cousin who made it to the big leagues, a granddad who was a hero, or the dumb uncle who fucked up so hard that he's an example for everyone for what not to do. This is the person who everyone in the extended family knows about, and whose stories are passed down through the generations.

In my family this legend is my granddad, or why I have something like 86 cousins. As you may have guessed, grandpa definitely spread his seed around. According to official documents he only had 2 wives, remarrying once after his first wife passed away. On our family tree chart it's a bit different. There was also a mistress and a maid, yes, grandpa was sleeping with 3 chicks at the same time and knocking them all up too, he literally had more children than I can count on my hands. I have no idea how he made it to his 80s and died of old age, 3 chicks at the same time, how the hell did he pull that off without getting stabbed by someone?

So yeah, tell us about the legends in your families.

Haha, have you thought about doing an Ancestry type thing to see how many relatives you have?

I never got to meet my mum's dad being he passed away before I was born but my grandma's second husband who I called Grandpa because he was, got The Distinguished Flying Cross in The Royal Air Force. He was shot out of the sky twice and had pretty severe walking problems having to bandage his legs every day till he died.

Funny thing though and we never told him or my Grandma we knew but I got a copy of his birth certificate as he was in his last year or so and he'd lied to everyone about his age, he was 10 years older than he said he was in order to get my Grandma to marry him.

They made movies about my family and books I’m just not sure I should post it . Lol

On the Grandpa thing ? Well I still have family members I just recently met 5 years ago and there’s more on my moms side , I even ran into a family member in a bar out of random encounter when I started talking to this guy in a dive bar in NY and we knew the same person then one thing led to another and he was cousins with my cousin,he was my third cousin . Lol

Both sides of my family were boxers my father and 4 uncles on my moms side all boxed , my grandfather my mothers father was extremely tough guy beat up 6 police officers at once and threw a guy over the railroad tracks watched the train run over him after raping someone he knew , stabbing and violence was a thing the only thing that killed him was cigarettes but he lived long in his early 70”s around 1985 I was about 12 or so .

My grandfather was an intellectual heavy weight. Law professor, his books are still used in universities. He has a street named after him, a society named after him. He also was a driver for a high ranking military guy in WW2 and said one night he ate dinner with his boss and Ernest Hemingway at the top of a building while the city was being bombed by allied forces...everyone else left the restaurant except him, his boss and Ernest so they all sat together. When he got back from the war, he had nightmares every night, would wake up screaming, he and my grandmother had separate beds but right next to each other. Loved that guy and miss him.

On my grandma's there was a barron or Duke that lost his money on a ballerina. Then there was my great grandmother who's parents died and had to take care of her 9 siblings. She ended up making a fortune in real estate, which was impressive for a woman in those times without an education.

Great Great - Uncle from my father's side is a very famous writer

My half brother and two cousins, who were also cousins themselves, were in the same prison at the same time for the same independent crimes.

I'm white trash... this is white trash legend status.

 

[Cole train]

Grandad was in olympics for soviet union

One ancient relative was a diplomat for SU and worked in north korea, meaning my family family line helped rise of communism there?

Great grandma owned 2 factories, lost them in rus revolution

 

[toasty]

I’m distantly related to Amelia Earhart

My Irish relatives were notorious sheep smugglers who would move to Scotland and change their name to avoid getting punished . Then steal Scottish sheep and move back Ireland when things got hot for them in Scotland.

This explains the tingling sensations I get when I see a nice fat unattended sheep

My mom's aunts, uncles and cousins are white trash legends.

Example: Her cousin showed up to his sister's wedding 3 hours early in camo. Got so drunk at the restaurant bar that he passed out. Arriving guests woke him up and he basically tried to fill the room with uppercuts. Got arrested as his sister was arriving. One of my other cousins has a great shot of him in his "good camo" and handcuffs, being walked out past the wedding limo.

My cousin is a pretty famous genius in the academic community. We used to work together doing shit jobs and demos on construction sites. He had a rough childhood as his Dad was an abusive dick. He got this cushy job as a janitor at a university, and before you know it, he was solving complex Math Equations on the board he was supposed to be cleaning. This caught the attention of the professors and next thing you know he is a sought-after savant. He ended up moving across the country to chase after some odd-looking chick. I heard he may be moving back and looking for work though, because it turns out computers do these math problems with ease now. No need for humans.

Grandmom had a ton of brothers and sisters. 2 of the brothers ended up joining the service and were green berets in Vietnam. Apparently both saw a lot of action and did horrible things.

Legend has it they both got involved in drug running after they got out during the whole coke explosion in the 80’s along the I-95 corridor. May be a bullshit story, but another legend has it one of their bosses stiffed them on a big deal. They rolled up to his house on the weekend and asked for the money. Guy was having a birthday party for one of his kids and gave them the runaround again. They told the guy they had something to show him. Took him out to their van, popped the doors, and had a shitload of weapons in the back including explosives. They convinced him how important it was get what was owed today. Guy said to give him an hour, and they got paid.

The one was murdered years later. The other killed himself after an accident that was going to see him lose a leg. After a failed marriage, he lived with a sister who was in pretty bad shape herself and didn’t want to burden her with taking care of him.

Nothing that I"m aware of. Both my grandpas were in WW2. I don't know if they fought for sure or not. My one grandpa went to Japan theater after the war was over to help keep peace and clean up. He got a cool sword to take home, his words "I told that Jap to give me his sword". They are both dead now though - My one grandpa got military honors at his funeral.

- Have bunch of different versions of why we as family(father side) used to have lot money/lands but i'm born poor ghetto lol
I and dad born with nothing, grandpa (i never seen, survived russian campaign but apparently got what today we call PTSD and alcohol ended him at some point) had just some remnants at begin but all went lost over old debts
We're supposed to have some noble roots according to teh internet, different sources say different things but there are some recurring common points like the area and family motto

- Grandma (father side) double-leg tackled robber that just snatched her necklace, passer-by jumped the guy and she got necklace back
No problem believe it, grandma was strong af woman
Funny seen as kid her chase away gypsy from our condo with an umbrella
And few years before seen dad throw gypsy down stairs three times till ground floor of same condo, guess love for gypsies run in our family lmao

- not much "family legend" but we are distant relatives of a very important italian prime minister of the past and super rare case of good politician lol

- no family but ex girlfriend when i was younger was rich as fuck of noble family and they owned that large Resident Evil like mansion on lake maggiore, she and her family had bunch of ghost stories they absolutely believed and in some cases would claim to have seen/hear stuff
I've been there many times for around five years, i'm not ghost believer (but i don't pretend we know everything) and never seen anything, beside strange thing i already shared on sherdog while ago lol
