I know someone who's related to Al Capone's right-hand man, does that count...?

I think many Italian-Americans have a grandfather or a great uncle who has told that story! :wink:

I was born here, thus I'm a Native American. Ethnically I'm Irish/Scott, Italian, German and Croatian. Aside from my half-brother I'm the only surviving member of this particular bloodline of which whom has blue eyes. I'm quite the genetic throwback in my family, let alone enough of a black sheep as it is.

My grandma contributes to this...being an Italian(she does cook a lot...course she also complains a lot)

My grandad(when he was alive and an unsufferable bastard according to my dad) was Irish.

So I'm Mick Goomba....with Korean blood(forgot the lovable slang for that is)

My folks are immigrants from Italy (Mom is from the South-Central region of Abruzzo and my Dad is from Croatia (later moved to Venice)).
Cool.

Some of my ancestors supposedly came from Rome before the fall of the Empire. It's said that one of them even ruled Constantinople when the Byzantine Empire was all that remained, name of "Romulus II."

Such a person did exist and was emperor for several years, but whether or not my grandmother and great aunt's research is accurate...I just dunno. You've gotta be leery of accepting such claims.

Both of my grandparents were from Italy and Sicily. My parents were born here in the U.S. I myself was born here. My uncle strongly associated with mafiosos, but he wasn't made, meaning he most likely didn't kill anyone or anything like that. My dad hung out with my uncle and mafiosos in jazz clubs. Lots of relatives on my father's side were involved one way or another with mafiosos...but not the way you think...to answer your inevitable mafia questions... :P

No, only you. :P But seriously, any ties with the mafia are long gone now.

Good, since I do believe you and I live in the same neighborhood, I feel safer. Not having mob hits go down, keeps up property value. :lol:

Really? A while back there was a thread where people posted overhead pictures of their house, and I swore you posted a map of Centerville. Maybe it was someone else. Someone on this board lives in my neighborhood. Im not that crazy! :lol:

I did post a photo of my town. I guess they look really similar...was there a park in the photo? If not, then it was probably someone else.

No, it was a map of my neighborhood, I thought you lived in my complex. You even responded to it, and tried to hit me over the head with a pan. :-)
I had just looked up a map of my neighborhood, which really freaked me out.
Hmm. I wonder if some how my mapquest search was displayed in your posting somehow, but just to me. So, you posted a picture? Freaky.
