re: #105 HappyWarrior

I’m always frustrated by people who insist my ancestors did it the right way blah blah. Motherfucker, I’ve done much more genealogical research than you ever have and I can’t even tell you that about my line.

On my mother’s side, they came here at a time when the only immigration law was they had to be not-Chinese. They absolutely complied with that requirement; by accident, they weren’t even aware of it until they’d been here awhile.

On my dad’s side, they told me so many contradictory stories I can’t be certain which is “true”. I believe whichever one suits me at any particular moment.
