Sometimes it's better not to dig :)
I've always been interested in family history, ancestry etc. My grandmother always told me we were of German descent (which may still be true), but my investigation of just following my surname from father to father led me to ...... Le France. All that money spent on bratwurst making classes and beer steins is for naught. It's off to learn to make a perfect rue and some brie. La merde!
At least you know?
I'm adopted, so I just pick random places and pretend my family is from there. I could be Irish! Or Persian! Or Korean! Ok probably not the last 2, but it is a fun guessing game.
Now I understand your strong desire to eat so many french fries during lunch.
How unfortunate. Well, you're a lot smarter than most of your kinsmen, I think.

Chin up. Perhaps you are related to someone who fought in the French resistance rather than someone who rolled over in Vichy.
It could have been worse. ;)
Think of it this way - you're ancestors are the ones that looked around and said: Meh, we can do better. Let's go.
