now on murder charges


The mothers of half brothers don't seem to be too particular about
where they obtain their sperm.

Is that why your relatives changed their name?

Didn't need to Americanize my name. How bout you?

I didn’t. My paternal grandfather, Grigor Vol******, was renamed Krause,
courtesy of Immigration at Ellis Island before getting on the train to
Philly where relatives lived. So, you’ve always been named Justan Asshole,
eh?

Another piece of bull**** from Krause:

My grandfather's middle name was mispelled by the folks at Ellis Island. Although they couldn't
change the actual documents, they did agree with the correction and fix the name as stored in their
computers.



My grandfather's name was Carl Vellhungson but they changed it to
Eriksson at Ellis.

We have never done a full ancestry search but it appears that none of
the relatives I have passed through Ellis Island. The Fretwell and
Adair side of the family (the Oklahoma folks) were here before that
started and they seemed to come through the Carolinas. The English and
Irish folks (Browns, Chessers and Malones) on my mother's side landed
in Southern Md or Virginia long before that process started, some in
colonial times. Some of the Germans on my grandfather's side may have
come through New York but they seemed to just pop up in the port of
Baltimore. The assumption is they came directly there but it was still
way back in the 19th century. I am distantly related to EA Poe.
There is some Cherokee in there somewhere but not enough to talk
about. I have 2 grand parents that might be a 16th (down separate
paths) but they don't let you add that stuff up ;-)
