Aug. 2nd, 2002 10:20 am1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from?
hrm, still working on this one. it's difficult, since my ancestors mostly came to the US pre-1700. welsh, english, german, german (amish), potentially some native american (chickasaw) thrown in (still verifying)
2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit?
oh, i'd love to visit any of them. wales and england are most likely, simply because of the language.
3. Which would you least like to visit? Why?
i'd really like to visit my cousins in germany (my only "recent" line came over in 1870 or so), but the language differences might prevent that. some of the cousins do speak english (i speak english, passable french, and russian), though, so it would remain a possibility. the area where they live is absolutely beautiful. :)
4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage?
i enjoy octoberfest type events. i love pagan festivals, but i suppose that pushing it a bit far. ;) really, though, i'm an american through and through and really enjoy various recreational events like the Feast of the Hunter's Moon in Indiana, various pioneer type settlements (from Jamestown, VA, to Metamora and Connor Prairie in Indiana), and anything that falls under the umbrella of "history".
and family reunions. i love these.
5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)?
not counting the probable native americans-- jamestown, VA, after 1620. or massachusetts/pennsylvania, sometime after the pilgrims, but before 1700.
i really find my genealogy fascinating, but it's very difficult to wade through the centuries of pioneers who didn't always bother to keep records.
boy's gen is interesting, too, simply because i'm going to have to learn how to work with Sicilian and Polish systems if I have any hope of finding out more. S
