Your roots?
« on: March 22, 2011, 06:41:57 PM »
Just curious, where is everyone's roots from? Personally I am 100% Italian, my family came over from Northern Italy (Most in the Genoa area) between 1900-1950.

One of my Great Grandfather's came to the US in 1909. A Lebanese Immigrant.

The others were mostly European Immigrants pre-civil war, mostly Scot-Irish.

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Italian

Great-Grandfather immigrated from Naples in 1915, worked his arse off to become a citizen, and he died a happy, propserous American.

I guess I'm a mutt :)  Scotts-Irish, with some French and American Indian thrown in.  Father was full blooded Irish though.

As far as I've been told and remember...
Apparently all of my mother's side emigrated together from Austria-Hungary 3-4 generations back. Ethnically that doesn't lead you very far, but based on surname and religion they were probably Croats, Czechs, or Slovenes, leaning toward the latter two, I imagine.
My father's side is pretty much mixed, based on the prevalent populations of where they're from, probably some mix of British (Scottish/Irish more than English I'd imagine), German, Slavic and Italian. Pretty standard European-American mix.

I'm directly related to Charlemagne. I guess I'm Germanic, British and Cherokee. Interesting background.
