General Omar Bradley married one of my great grandmother's sisters. Farther back on my mother's family tree is Annie Oakley.
My father followed my grandfather and immigrated from Spain. Probably the best movie-like story is of my grandfather fighting the fascists and Nazis in the Spanish civil war. He was captain of a ship, sank by the Italian navy and ended up in a refugee camp in Tunisia. My father was born in Tunisia.
Anyway, grandfather couldn't go home being that he was on the Republican side of the war (hint: opposing the fascists) so he came to America to herd sheep.
