When I questioned this with family , they said that the history books must be wrong , after all , their parents had told them , they were geronimo's direct blood. Sheesh , try telling grandma she's full of ****.........

Very odd, as I presume you are referring to the indian warrior Geronimo.

According to wikipedia (yea, I know, any fool can edit it and make it wrong), but Geronimo did have a wife and children. So,. your granny had a better idea then some fool of a ranger.....

Yup , I was talking bout the apache warrior Geronimo all right , it was prolly granny who went on Wikipedia and changed it. She hated being wrong....

As a bit of trivia, a number of his (GERONIMO'S) descendants have been well-known in various fields of endeavor. One of his grandsons was a famous character actor in Hollywood by the name of Charlie Stevens. Charlie acted in hundreds of films and was a close personal friend of Douglas Fairbanks, Sr. Another grandson, Geronimo III, would often bring his Apaches down from the Mescalero Reservation in New Mexico for pow-wow each summer, to the great delight of the people in Alamogordo.

Geronimo is the ONLY Indian to be recognized worldwide for his bravery and ferocity, and this includes the likes of such great leaders as Cochise, Crazy Horse, Stand Watie, Osceola, Satanta, et al. The battle cry of "Geronimo" stands alone as the most powerful word in the military language.

so your granny may not be so mad after all..

My Great Grandfather was the Harbormaster in Hamburg Germany. I would imagine he saw the first steam ships and the upcoming doom of sail.
