I'm posting this before I go to bed since it's technically Monday here.
It's also now officially Mooch and Noodles' 9th birthday! I don't know for certain this is the day; we just counted back the number of weeks old we were told they were at the shelter.
Today's question is about ancestry!
Do you know where your ancestors came from? Is it where you live currently?
I'm not sure if it's an American thing; but my cousins and I were always fascinated with knowing where our ancestors had come from. 3 of my Grandparents were the first generation born in the US. The other Grandpa was the 2nd generation born here. I am 50% Italian, 25% German, and the other 25% is Polish with some Greek mixed in. I'm not 100% sure where the Greek ancestry came in. If I remember right; my Grandmother is 25% Greek. For some reason I'm questioning that tonight. I also know that my ancestors were mostly farmers but also one Great-Grandmother was a servant.
DH's family has been here much longer than mine. I do have an informal family tree of sorts his Grandmother wrote out that goes back to pre-Civil War times. With that time here; knowledge of his ancestry before this is more limited.
