How 'bout we take this one step further and discuss the national origins of our families?? That is, if you know what they are.

For instance, I am mostly of Swedish and Irish descent, with a little bit of "mutt" mixed in for good measure (French, German, English).... ;-) My great-grandfather came to the U.S. from Stockholm, Sweden in 1907 on a ship named Oscar II (he later gave his son, my grandfather, 'Oscar' as his middle name). That is my most direct (& most recent) line from Europe. More distantly my dad's side is Irish but you have to go back 5 or 6 generations back to get to Ireland.

I've been working on my genealogy for the last 2 years, it's become quite a fun and interesting project!! I have a 2nd cousin who has visited our family that remained in Sweden. One day I hope to do the same.
