Shantell Powell<p>Finding out more reasons why my paternal ancestry is so very undocumented. Apparently, the records house for Newfoundland burnt down in the early 1950s. And I found out that the Salvation Army "teacher" at my dad's "school" (Newfoundland equivalent of Indian day school/residential school) destroyed all the records of students there. </p><p>Dad ran away and lied about his age to join the military. </p><p>Meanwhile, on Instagram, people I don't even know and have never met or spoken to are telling people I'm a Pretendian. I sure hate the whole Pretendian thing. Yes, there are liars out there trying to capitalize on false identities, but there are also modern-day witch hunters, and they are after me. Nothing I say will appease them.
