haha the good ol' days of pink shinobi hustlin...

 

[metalreflectslime]

i never underestimate anymore

paul robbed me of $20 for that once lol

haha the good ol' days of pink shinobi hustlin...

I actually didn't enter the NorCal Melee Scene until June 2010. Did Paul MMed a lot of people before he was ranked or after he was ranked? I somewhat see it both ways since if you are ranked, you have confidence to MM but people probably won't want to MM you, but if you are unranked people will want to MM you but you are not sure if you might win the MM or not since you don't know how well you stack up to other people.

So I found out recently that one of my second cousins, who is 42 or something (I forget exactly how old) is now a grandparent. This makes us (me and said grandchild) second cousins twice removed, which is on the same generational level as great-uncle/nephew (I'm old). The same second cousin also had a grandparent that died very shortly after the child was born, so for a short while she was a great-great-grandparent. That's pretty neat since that's the first instance of great-great-grandparenthood I know of in my or my friends' families.

Nice @ Eric and Miles. I met my great-grandfather on a couple occasions. He was born in 1894 and died in 1990 (when I was 8). So I've met someone born in the 19th century.

Eric, a great great aunt is the sister of your great grandmother. Great^n-uncle/aunt = brother/sister of great^(n-1) grandparent.

That's pretty cool. I'm one of those people that need a visual chart to understand family trees.

The way I heard it Paul used to pull "I only have a 20" on people back in the day.

Thats pretty awesome now that i used some of my own family to follow it. Did you look all this up on wikipedia on the cousin page?

PokemonmasterIRL have we met?

 

[Brian]

My great-grandma lived to 96 and died when I was 10 or so. It's kinda cool to have known that generation because not a lot of people do.

 

[PokemonMasterIRL]

Yeah Sheridans for GSG.

I play ICys.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

I just looked up a couple things to make sure I had the terminology right.

The genealogy on that side of the family is difficult because WW2 in Poland destroyed a lot of records.

My other (Sheridan) side of the family does a little bit of genealogy work, and I can trace it pretty far back. The Sheridans in America started with my great-great-great-grandfather Thomas Sheridan from Ireland.

 

[Brian]

That stuff is cool. I've thought about trying to do some genealogy work for my family but all of the easy stuff is done already.

My mom's side of the family can be traced back to the Mayflower, but my dad's side of the family is much more limited. My paternal grandfather doesn't know who is real dad is and ran away from home when he was 15. The last name Reedy is the name of his step-father, so we aren't even originally Reedys by blood. My paternal grandmother had an absentee father who left her mother at a young age. My paternal grandmother's mother, my great-grandmother who lived to 96, came over with her parents from the Azores in Portugal when she was very young and grew up in poverty in Hawaii before coming to California.

 

[The Greater Leon]

when my grandfather on my dads side died, they did a bit of genealogy work.

turns out my last name, johannes, used to be something else, but a great great... grandpa of mine like ****ed a little girl and had to move and change his name loooooooooooooooooooool
