Hello.

I was watching history of families and made me think of mine,so I thought i dont mind telling you.

It could be music,painting,photography,acting,inventor....

My other family robbed banks so thats a whole other story! Lets dive into the artistic family of mine.

Ill go first! My 5 BASSANO several great uncles and several GGF were court musicians for Henry 8th,they were famous for making wind instruments,recorders and shawms.

My several great aunt EMILIA LANIER BASSANO is a English writer and poet,first commercially-published women poets writing in the English language and controversy about her and Shakespeare which are books out there to read and her husband was the cousin of ELIZABETH 1ST.

@Listener001, “My sister once told me that somewhere in our family line — way back in the late 1700s — we had a distant relative on Long Island who was a serial killer. Supposedly, she was a second cousin on my father’s side and was said to have murdered six people. I’ve never confirmed it, and honestly, I don’t intend to. But family stories have a way of mixing mystery with a little drama, and sometimes that’s part of the fun of exploring where we come from.

On a brighter note, my grandfather (my mom's dad, Albert Carkees Sr.) was born in Bethlehem, the very same city where Christ Jesus was born. That connection has always felt meaningful to me — a reminder that our family history holds beauty as well as intrigue.”

Looking forward to your new music, take care, and GOD bless.
