Surprising ancestry
Category: Relations, Walk of life
This morning, my sister, mom and I were talking about my mom’s parents. I questioned mom about her own grandparents and it was then that she revealed that her father’s father (my great grandfather) was Arabian. He was an immigrant who moved to India, met my great grandmother and married her.
I had no idea! It was a shocking revelation, we were all like “Wow…”
It’s so cool to know though! I can just imagine how cool it was for my grandfather to have a dad who’s Arab, a mom who’s Indian and and to be part Arab and part Indian himself. That would make my mom 1/4th Arab and her children (us) 1/8th.
Or something. The only thing I’ve known in my life is to be Indian… Indian traditions, customs, etc. It’s so weird to learn about it now, and although it changes nothing, this little bit of information just blew me away.
… I was just thinking how I have friends all over the globe, it would be interesting to know your ancestry if you’d like to share. =)
I should completely do a map, like Skye’s… maybe on a smaller scale.
I’m pure Chinese, but just having different dialects,
Hokkien + Fuchow + Cantonese. Nothing else special. But if I get to choose, even 20% of Japanese will be very cool. x3
