nope...not really...when i was about thirteen (right after we got back from my dad's tour in Berlin), a couple of my aunt's were talking with dad about some of his mother's affects (she had passed away while we were overseas)...her birth certificate showed an unknown father "probably a coal miner", and her mother was "an Indian girl"...i asked some questions then but was turned away...the marriage license my grandparent has showed no maiden name for my grandmother...finally, before one of my aunts died, she told me that her mother was ashamed of her (lack of )parentage and never talked about it...my aunt was told by one of my grandfather's sisters...
unlike a Moslem, however, the circumstances of my grandmother's birth do not humiliate me...i figure none of us have to go back too far before we start running into relatives who procreated without a license...
