Canopus had a neat post but I did not want to hijack it with my question. Since galactic collisions are a fact of life. Even as we speak the milky way is thought to be in the proccess of devourse at lease 1 dwarf galaxy. Could or sun not have originated from the milkyway. Is it possible to trace our sun's leniagees to determine if its native of the milky way??????

The Sun formed in the Milky Way, no doubt about that. It orbits very close the plane of the galaxy in a fairly circular orbit. Any stars from cannibalized galaxies tend to have much more irregular orbits. Additionally, stars in dwarf galaxies are usually metal-deficient (i.e. have only small amount of chemical elements heavier than helium); Sun, on the other hand, is metal-rich.
