[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1351652, member: 1535"] Father- Marine,Korea and Viet Nam Paternal Grandfather- Marine,WW2( including Pearl Harbor) Dads brother- Marine,Viet Nam My fathers paternal grandfather came from Scotland,his maternal side came from Ireland. I'm sure his descendants fought in something in those countries,especially the Irish. My mothers mother was much younger than my grandfather and was in the Navy during WW2 but served stateside as a nurse. Her mother may have had brothers who fought in WW1. Her family migrated from the deep south so she more than likely had relatives who were Civil war vets,Confederates I would assume. My mothers father was nearly full blood Osage-Kaw indian with about 1/4 French and was born on an indian reservation just before 1900,he didnt serve in WW1 or 2. My mothers paternal grandfather was half Osage indian and half French so he more than likely had relatives who fought on indian or French sides; her paternal grandmother was full blood Kanza(Kaw) indian with Sioux ancestry- I have a book of my moms paternal family history and her paternal grandmother told stories in the book told to her from her parents of her familys wars against other indian tribes,relatives in the French-Indian war,and battles between their tribe and the US Govt where her family migrated from in the South Dakota area.
