Adama's family is from Tauron??
How did this fact get overlooked in BSG??? Or did I miss something? Yes, Bill was born on Caprica, but both parents are from Tauron!

shareThat never came up on BSG at all. All that we are told is that Adama's father was a lawyer.
shareVery true, we never got any indication on Battlestar Galactica that the Adama family had Tauron heritage, it's interesting RDM retconned this a little bit, because on BSG we have every indication that the Adamas are Caprican through and through.
shareI don't think it was overlooked entirely on purpose.
It just never was needed, there really isn't that much on the differences between the colonies in BSG. It's more humans vs cylons and their differences that make the story.
Obvious Caprica needed to build a proper biography for him and his family, which they were doing.
Adama in BSG, probably didn't think of himself as aligned to a colony he was carrier military and that was his 'nation' so to speak. The crew his people.
I would, however, add that in Baltar's political "book," he specially mentions that all the positions of importance, were Capricans. And, in fact, He (Baltar) was from Tauron. This would have been a good opportunity for Adama's family history to be revealed. So, it must be that the Tauron and Adama connection was a Caprica invention.
shareBaltar was from Aerilon wasn't he?
shareBaltar grew up on Tauron, and was ashamed of his background. There was one episode where he changed back to his childhood accent, while talking about growing up as the son of farmers.
shareBaltar grew up on Aerelon not Tauron.
shareYou are mistaking Aerilon for Tauron. It was definitely Aerilon.
I joined the Navy to see the world, only to discover the world is 2/3 water!
Baltar was born and raised on a dairy farm outside of the town of Cuffle's Breath Wash on Aerilon.
