History
 

Met and talked to my father's brother yesterday, we all started to talk family history which relived alot of things I didn't know.

Such as my ancester Greve af Wetterstedt, Greve is the same as Baron but in Sweden this was the highest form of noble class. He was very close with the Swedish kings and was highly regarded by them.

He was the one that signed the peace treaty with Great Britain in Juli 16th 1812 and also several merchant treaties among those one was the treaty between Sweden and the United States. Along with several treaties to stop the slave trade.

Thought it was a bit cool even if I'm against a class socity, it is a part of my history so I can't but be stunned at the richness of it :)

Here's some info on him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustaf_af_Wetterstedt

Thats sweet to learn about your own history :). I really need to start asking some of the older folks in the family about their history. It's a little bit more exciting now that i'm a bit older.

that's some cool shizzle man. :)

thats pretty cool.

(just asking, is this a "Post your family history" type deal thread now? lol)

Was the same for me, i wasn't the least bit interested when younge but as of the last 4 years all history has started to interest me :)

Defenetly in my opinion, always fun to hear history related posts :)
