My dad's side is Canadian (I'm adopted and American) and my aunts, uncles, Oma and Opa are the most apologetic people I've ever met.
Also, my dad has a shirt that depicts monkey-to-human evolution and the human picture is a Canadian hockey player saying, "Eh?" I told my dad it's my favorite shirt of his :)
My father ran a mom and pop store for 54 years (1954-2008). We are well known in this end of the county because he would extend credit to poor people (including blacks, as most white store owners would not at the time).
My sister went on a deep dive years ago researching our family. We were bankers (where the surname came from) and were apparently very involved with one of the Crusades. Then in the 1500s, we became bandits. Eventually settled down as farmers near High Wycombe. My grandmother was an artist and while they lived there, she painted the inside panel of a piano with a landscape for the prime minister at the time. As far as I know, that piano is still on display in the Chequers house.
Our family name goes back hundreds of years. Our family flag is even in the community hall. One of only six flags being displayed there. That said...me and my sister are the last ones carrying this name. We both do not have kids. So we are the last ones....and after us the name will be gone.
