My surname is an Anglicised version of a French name, and it seems highly likely that my Father's side of the family came to England with William 1st. It is not a widespread name, except down in the West Country, where there are many of us, particularly on the Isles of Scilly. Unfortunately the church there had a habit of burning down and destroying all the parish records every 20 years or so, which makes it difficult to be certain about the French angle, but I recall being in France and speaking to someone who thought that with our surname we must be Bretons, so it seems likely. The interesting side though is my Mother's. Apparently one of my ancestors on that side of the family was involved with Dashwood and his Hellfire Club. I heard of this before I really knew what it was but recall that the only family member who really knew the details was my grandmother. Of course, being a respectable person that kind of heritage came under the classification of "Things we don't talk about". A real shame, as I would have been fascinated to find out more. There were rumors of said ancestor being involved in strange rites at High Wycombe Cathedral resulting in trouble with the law, which fits with the recorded history of Dashwood's activities. Unfortunately my grandmother died without passing on the full details of what she knew to anyone else in the family. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hellfire_Club

I come from a various lines of occult-related lineages (although which ones arent these days?). I am, in order from least to greatest, German, English, Irish, Scandinavian, Arabic, and Romani. My grandmother's aunt worked for Emperor Josef of Austria, before the great war. My grandfather was an arab with family in Syria Lebanon and Turkey. He met my grandmother in America, and wallah! I am a vampire, andi believe i inherited this from my Romani bloodline (also on my mother's side), in the tradition of the Nosferatu.
My grandfather, on my dad's side, is mostly English, and was both a high degree Freemason, as well as a Rosicrucian. My mother was likewise a member of The Order of the Eastern Star, my dad too was a mason. Needless to say, my parents family was not very religious, however i was raised an Orthodox Christian. A year ago i disbanded these beliefs, and turned to the occult..

My maternal grandmother was swedish. I don't know much of her family. My maternal grandfather came from a long line of vassals in the Transylvania region, known as the "Batiz" clan, later changed to "Batizi," then "Batizy," Originally meaning "tall." After the feudal system was done away with, they became lawyers, magistrates, and other municipal supervisors. My grandfather was the first doctor in the family line after a long time.
My paternal grandmother came from a family line near Greece in Turkey. My paternal grandfather came from a long line of farm supervisors in the Phoenician region. Originally, his lineage can be traced to the foothills of the Kurdish mountain regions.

Mother's side:I am a direct descendant -- on my mother's side -- of Molly Newport, daughter of Captain Christopher Newport. Captain Newport (along with Captain John Smith, he of the Pocahontas fame) co-founded the Jamestown Colony in 1607, the first permanent English settlement in North America. I am quite literally descended from one of the First Families of Virginia! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) Father's side:I don't know too much about my father's side of the family. I'm German on my father's side (My great-grandparents were Bavarian immigrants.) Beyond that, I don't know. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

QUOTE(Goibniu @ Sep 7 2007, 11:52 PM) ![*](http://www.sacred-magick.org/style_images/grimoire1142433417/post_snapback.gif) My dad's side of the family were Irish and French, largely peasants, although there were some Irish travelers; enough that we still speak the Cant. My mom is Protestant, daughter of an Anglican minister. Eventually he joined what is called the United Church here in Canada. They were heavy into social activism and I'm rather proud of his career in helping the poor and disadvantaged. But I don't have any particular occult family lineage or practices passed down. I've studied a lot and have always been lucky in finding the right teachers. But often luck is the result of hard work and practice. pardon my ignorance, but what exaclty its the United Church of Canada, I'm guessing its a christian church?!?!!?!?!

My Father was an electro-mechanical engineer, every manned space shot had his fringer prints on them, even today since he worked on the Shuttles. He did a lot of defence work to, much more then that I can't say he had higher clearance then the president. His side of the family is Polish, Austrian, Hungarian, Russian, and we think Jewish. Since the family was Catholic they would have not talked about my Great Grandfather being jewish. He was the best of the bunch. As far as esoteric they didn't talk about it, hell they didn't talk about much. I do know there was something as My grandmother mentioned something in a conversation once. Although Mom and Dad were together until he died, we knew little of what he did, he didn't have much to do with the kids, we had 3 vacations with him in 40 yrs.
My Mom's side was a bit more colorful. Italian and French. The Family came over in 1898 Ellis Island. The lived in the tenements on the lower east side. My Gr. Grandfather moved the family to N.J. with 4 other Familys some time latter. She had her family researched, they went back to the Knights Templars. My Gr. Gr. Grandmother was a very feared Streghe. She was a very good healer, but she had a very bad temper. There are reports of her killing someone's cow with a glance. She was reported to make the kids retarded, and people sick. They kept the kids hidden when she came around. My Gr. Grandmother was a super Catholic, she was alway saying rosaries, if she couldn't make it to mass she said it at home. My Grandmother was trained by her grandmother, I caught her working her magick a few times. My Mom inherited the eye, as did I. This side of the family is very telepathic the ones that aren't afraid, seem to have inherited some of Gr. Gr. Grandmothers abilities. I am very good with herbs as was Gr. Gr. GM and my Gr. Grandfather, Mom and I at least got the eye, Frank my cousin (Frankie Munez) has intense dreams which come true.
Mom and I have studied with the same teachers. The first was a physic, the second was from BoWT, the last was the 4th way. I went one to study Native American, Shamanism mainly with many other traditions here and there. One of my sisters is into, I don't know New age metaphysics, some interesting stuff, among other things, something called Flow(?) a healing "Message" that used entities. It is effective and certainly interesting to be worked on using the method. Once I saw what looked like Grays working on me. My brother (moved on) and other sister, I think were/are afraid of the stuff. They would have Mom read their cards, Mom is very good at it, like many that were/are she won't do them any more. Mom and I have also worked with the ancient crystal skulls.
