My Silver Spoon was Stolen!
We all joke about riches we're meant to have... Well, my great-great grandma Chrysler contractually refused an inheritance, for her as well as her progeny. In a different universe, I have relatives who are less inclined to stand up for their beliefs, and a shiny silver spoon in my mouth! I just found out the Chrysler family harkens from Germany, too. So I can say with more certainty that I'm mostly of German descent.
My grandmother says she visited the town where her great grandmother lived and saw the contract for herself. I need to get her to tell me the story again, because she told it to me quite awhile ago and the details are sketchy in my mind.
In other news... If you don't have my maniphisto blog on your friend list, I have a new post up!
