1. How far back can you trace your family tree?
About three generations.
2. What is the most interesting (or strange) thing you've heard about one of your relatives?
My dad's younger sister is actually a half-sister, as my late paternal grandmother was a real swinger.
3. How do you feel about legacy names like John Henry Smith IV or naming children after other relatives?
Fine by me. My mom sucked at naming me and my siblings despite having a shitload of aunts and uncles and gave us all naggy names (any first name that's more than two syllables to me qualifies as such and is really sing-songy).
4. Would you consider yourself and/or your family to be traditional?
My parents are real dinosaurs but my siblings and I are sort of mostly more in with the times, and I don't really give a flying fuck about tradition anymore, even if some of my views are hardline.
5. What is one tradition you have passed on to your children and/or plan to pass on to them?
I'm not having children since I would rather my cursed autistic bloodline die with me. I don't fucking care. Jesus, Popes, Dalai Lamas, Mother Teresa, and whatnot, were single, and they did perfectly fine.
