So I've posted a minor bit about this on other threads.
As a child I was told my grandfather was part of the Polish Resistance during WW2. Yep, that's why he disappeared. (Truth later found: My grandparents were involved in an affair. My father was illegitimate. My grandfather was married.) "What was grandma's maiden name?" I asked at age 8 or 10. "Adamski." "But that's the same as grandpa's last name," I said. "It's a common last name," Babcia and Dad told me. (True it IS a common last name but...)
So....I know (at least some of) the funny and interesting lies my own familiy told about their past and ancestry. What are some of yours?
