Shard the Gentleman 2,891 Posted February 24, 2012 So, we were looking in the Hughes (That's my last name) genealogy, and found out today that I am related to Pocahontas! It turns out, My great times (how knows how many times) great grandfather, Caleb Hughes (Thats my Name as well! There was alot of Caleb's and Thomas's in out family) married Opechanacanough Powhatan's (A.K.A Pocahontas's Father) granddaughter! And that's on my fathers side! On my mothers side, I am related to Jesse James, The notorious train robber! He is my great aunt ethals greatXsomething uncle! I don't have alot of information on how he got related to us, but this is still an amazing find! 4 Yuzuki, Matthew, waytothexdawnx and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shard the Gentleman 2,891 Posted February 24, 2012 Dayum, that's awesome! ...Why can't I be related to anyone cool? You might be! Talk to your parents and ask them if they have their genealogy book , or if you live outside of your parents house, do some research! You'd be amazed on how much you can find!

Well, Hitler was Jewish in race, so you could be related to Jesus. Just saying. Jesus had a brother, but I'm not sure if he had kids. (And Yes, Jewish is a race AND religion.)

(And Yes, Jewish is a race AND religion.) i disagree with jews being a race, hitler and his political way of thinking made it a race just so he could spread his message of hate towards them. im pretty sure if you were christian and you decided to practice Judaism it doesnt automatically make you "look like" a jew. being jewish is an essentially a religion (that has the first few books from the old testament which IS the tora even the Qu'ran has the first few books from the bible) that some people want to live by, besides if was a race we could have easily identify them based on what they look like but we cant cause if we just point at some one that "looks like" a jew thatt would just be stereotypical, ignorant, and some might even say prejudice it all depends on who you ask. 1 lizzie1238 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those who are decedents of the twelve tribes of Israel are Jew's racially. The reason why I say this is because I am a Jew myself, and always have been taught this as I grew up. We aren't completely Jewish, but the government calls us "Judaic Christian" We keep Jewish traditions, but believe Christ is our savior. There may not be a Jew Race, but I was just saying as how I was raised. I am sorry for any misunderstandings. 1 Sigrun reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shard the Gentleman 2,891 Posted February 24, 2012 Nice to meet you too. It's interesting to see how two people meet based on something so simple. Yeah, It's pretty cool, actually. I'd never guess I'd find a relative on a Kingdom Hearts Forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Silvia Kuroi 1,480 Posted February 24, 2012 Yeah, It's pretty cool, actually. I'd never guess I'd find a relative on a Kingdom Hearts Forum. Relative in the loosest term. (About to get very boring here) While yes, we are related, the connection is so miniscule that it can't be detected. But still, we do share a common ancestor, so there should be CELEBRATION! I'll get the bananas. 1 Shard the Gentleman reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
