In a state of misery w/o my Bella
I am Italian, American, My Grandfather on my Dad's side came to NY from Italy when he was 18. He took me back to Italy when I was 18
Not sure about my Mothers Dad, but he was Italian, I think he was born in America though. I never met him. I was born and raised in Upstate NY, but now live in KY.

I'm American, my parents were born in the U.S. and I think their parents were as well... My dad's ancestors are from (west) Germany and my mom's are Italian from Sicily and Naples.
I am a 2nd-generation Chicagoan,
I was born in Chicago and so were my parents. I've never lived anywhere else.

Wishing I were anywhere but here
I have American and German Citizenship. I actually have to go to Houston this year to renew my German one. My mom's side is completely German. My dad's side probably has English and a few other cultures mixed in.

Australian, living in the state of South Australia.

A family member traced our family tree years ago to German and Welsh on my mothers side, I think my fathers side is German too.

Hoosier American (I liked that description!) born in Indiana in the US, and still live there.

My great grandparents (on my dad's side, my grandma's parents) and their whole families were immigrants from Ireland. The other side of my dad's family (my grandpa and his siblings and parents) are descended from the French who immigrated to Quebec. My dad is from northern Vermont, 1/2 mile from the Canadian border and I have relatives in Quebec. Many of the French settlers in our family history intermarried with the native Americans, so I have a lot of that, too.

On my mom's side, we can trace my grandpa back to Belgium and France (the Flanders area), but we can't trace my grandma back very far. There were a few Germans, other than that, I dunno!

Both of my great grandparents, on my mom's mom's side, were from Germany. My great grandpa came to America when he was four years old. I don't know to much about my great grandma except that she was German and I am named after her. She was Minnie Barbra and I am Melanie Barbra. Her dad's parents, his mom was Native American and his dad was Irish. We don't know a lot about them.
Both of my great grandparents on my dads dad's side are from Holland, they were orphans so I don't know to much about their history. His mom's parents were of French and Dutch decent. His family didn't keep very good track of heritage, so we don't have a lot of history on them.

My mom was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM and my dad was born in Chicago, IL and moved to Arizona when he was nine. He met my mom when he was 26 at a Christian camp...they were married less than a year after they met and had me exactly two years to the day that they met. I thought that was so cool!

I was born and raised in Albuquerque, NM and now live in Bosque Farms.

Plain ol' American here
Lots of Irish - we never knew how Irish we were until I did a few years of research. Now we know where all the mysterious red hair came from


Also German (Zells Brother's Family Circus) and Scottish and English. Also have some tall tails of Native American ancestry but nothing proven. Have heard lots of people claim to have a Cherokee princess great grandmother


I've never been outside the continental US. Someday!
