Re: What is your ancestry?
Hi Pati,
Welcome to the board from another Army Mom, HOOOAH!
For Mom's peace of mind, my young man in green is sitting on his butt in front of a computer screen at Ft. Bragg. Mom thinks that's the best solution - he's considered a specialist in Afghanistan now, but they do the actual editing of the Afghani newspaper at Bragg. He expects to spend the rest of his call up doing that editing job, 'cuz he says the men in green would have to train another monkey to do his job (his words).
personally, i consider myself heinz 57, but mostly english, scot-irish with a smidgen of polish. my grandfather came over from italy, so that makes me 1/4 italian. Except for grandfather who came early 20th century, the rest of the ancestors have been around a couple of centuries. maybe one day i'll tease out all those weakley's in virginia to see if i can join the dar. one of my dad's cousins got lost trying to sort them all out!
aside to thvudragon - doesn't surprise me that so many claim cherokee ancestors. the cherokee were a settled, farming group before being displaced to oklahoma (a so called "civilized" tribe.). and there, they were one of the more successful tribes. i'm glad those with cherokee ancestors are proud of their heritage. i would be too!
