I know for me, figured out that Adams should be Adam's as in the possessive
of, Son of Adam.
Basically a bastard, abandoned the local church steps?
Or a name taken for one who is leaving behind the normal life and seeking
monastic or like travels/profession?
Giving one self to God and there for a son of Adam? Could also be Adamson,
or Adamski?
I know in Japan, to be the child of a non-Japanese male, is near instant
loss of your families citizenship. You have to be 3 generations born in
Japan to be a citizen, or so I have been told?
Or why its a good idea of Japanese woman who have a child by an American or
like, or Korean or like (Koreans even to the like 5th generation are still
seen as Koreans! or so I have heard?) to leave town and go to her babies
fathers home country/land..
We have like in the US, a kid for a white mother, shows up with a child
darker than she, was seen as ... hum.. Who is momma been messing with? Or
she got raped or ...
Many women who was captured my Indians was, even if they was recaptured, as
being losing their "race".. Sadly, the reverse was not as common, depending
on the tribe? But not all sure.
I know the story goes that my Great-Grandmother, not sure if my dads family
or ... wandered out of the mountains with a baby.. Or she was not white but
... not sure.. Rape was not always seen as a crime of the one doing it, but
also the one who it was done to.. Loose woman and such?
Mormons polygamy, stems likely from biblical ideas of not just more than one
wife, but also if a husband died, his wife and children was not as strong
legally, as well as unprotected, so the "Married" might not be a sexual one,
but more a legal protection of the wife of the sibling that died?
