Exactly 70 years ago was an important battle.

We lost a lot of good men.

A day when even the Brits were thankful for the United States Army.

Today 491 years ago was an important day in Swedish history. It signified Swedish independence from Denmark and the end to the Kalmar union, Gustav Vasa pronounced himself King of Sweden and the Danish King Kristian II lost one of his three kingdoms the 6th of June 1523. Since then there has been 11 wars between Sweden and Denmark, the last war was ended 200 years ago, in Januari 1814, that peace saw Denmark handing over Norway to Sweden, since then there has been no wars and quite frankly it's difficult to imagine how much we used to hate the Danish. If you asked my Great great great great grandfather what he thought of the Danish you'd probably hear a bunch of swearwords though.

A somewhat related follow up question, how much do you know of your ancestors and when and where they lived? The research that other branches of my family has done they were nice enough to send to us and the furthest I can go back to is 1687, I think it's my fathers mothers fathers fathers mothers fathers fathers mothers mother, but don't quote me on that, lol. The branches I know the least about has details going back to the beginning of the 19th century. Everyone of my direct ancestors that I know of were born in Sweden and had very swedish sounding names, but my paternal granfathers paternal grandfathers brother back in the mid 19th century moved to Chicago and have living relatives named Johnson I think, lol. Granted it's not my ancestors, but they are distant relatives.

According to doctors at Toronto's Sick Children's Hospital (who routinely perform tens of thousands of DNA tests assessing relatives of their children for things like suitability for bone marrow transplants, etc.) one in four children have been given false information about who their father is.

The mother doesn't always know, if she has been passed around enough . I can be more sure that my father is my real father than you though, unless my mother has cheated on another man carrying the red haired gene, which is not impossible of course but statistically unlikely.

I'm not a researcher by trade. It's been at least a year since I read that article, and hunting it down in the archives of whatever publication I read it in is far more work than I'm willing to devote to a casual conversation.

I think I found it for you again, a very interesting read, according to the article, 10% of all children have a different father than they think, women are cheating more than at least I could've imagined, guess there's only one thing a redhead like me can do, marry another redhead, if the kid doesn't have red hair it can't be mine. There's no way around that lol. Unless of course she's managed to cheat on me with another redhead, but I'll take those odds anyday. The rest of you brownheads though, you're fucked!!

Kuthoer was more right than he probably knew, it's not just possible that my tree of ancestors contains errors, it's highly likely that it does. Although, there being some redheads in the family tree makes it harder for the women to get impregnated by someone else without getting caught.
