@Oaken05, 1/32 French Canadian should just be listed as French-Canadian. No need to put 1/32 when that is on the same ethnic level as listing it 1/1 or 1/2
So you’re going to post this twice? lol You don’t get to make that call; stop trolling this site with this nonsense.
@Oaken05, what nonsense am I saying?
@ethnic, why did you put 1/32 French Canadian? Why not put just French Canadian?
Because he can document the French Canadian ancestor. Can you stop being ridiculous?
@Oaken05, 1/32 French Canadian should just be listed as French-Canadian. No need to put 1/32 when that is on the same ethnic level as listing it 1/1 or 1/2
If I would pick a main reason, I’d say it’s because it wouldn’t be true. But you don’t seem very concerned with that.
@madman, so if there is no record, does that mean it’s not true?
I said it wouldn’t be true to list him as only French-Canadian. There are records to prove the English, German, and African-American.
I got an email from John and he insists he didnt have any children. He was married for a time to Tyler’s maternal grandmother Gloria.
Wasn’t John Novello his grandfather?
