Hey everyone! I thought this would be a cool idea, do any of you have any cool facts about your ancestors? I have one, it's something I'm very proud of. Albert Caseley, my grandmother's brother, was a navigator in World war 2 for Clement Attlee, the deputy prime minister, he was awarded a Distinguished Flying Medal (DFM) at Buckingham Palace.

My grandfather on my dad's side owned a trucking company in Holland (the Netherlands). I recently found out he was a smuggler during World War 2.

My Grandfather (whom died before I was born), was a professional musician and put out two records. Oh, and also, he was almost certainly connected with the mafia.

My great grandpa was in love with a Australian nurse in WW2; and never really was in love with my great grandma

Depends what constitutes a cool history, but comparatively speaking I don't have anything that stands out. I'm cool though, hopefully that starts a new trend haha.
