Somewhere in the past, my maternal great-something grandfather was lucky enough to be alive back in his hometown...
Had became a chief to a village. I've yet to learn the details how.

Ends up owning several hectares of land given away sometime during war. Parts of it were being used by my mom's side relatives.

May explain why I can be related to basically at least half of an entire village population and easily could just claim a land to live there.
May also explain where my mom's socializing abilities came from.

I forget how many titles and trophies she won.

I had a great uncle who sold a song he composed (wrote the music for, not the lyrics) for $100,000 in 1919.

I used to follow golf somewhat obsessively in the 90s.

My brother is deaf in his left ear.
I always have to be on his right side.

There's an exorbitant amount of autistic and/or ADHD-having people in my family, especially within my cousins. There are 6 cousins that I interact with regularly who have autism/ADHD (mostly autism), and I'm sure I'm forgetting to count a couple.

There's actually this social skills trait that traces from my mother's paternal side of the family.

Before my mother, there's my grandpa's grandpa.
They're both involved in local politics and real estate.

One of my NT sister's favorite You-Tube channels is "Air Crash Investigations."

(Sorry if I didn't get the name right.)
