[quote=Anonymous]On my mom’s side I have English and Irish ancestry from her dad, some can be traced back to Jamestown (English). On my dad’s side everyone is German or Austrian and emigrated here in the 19th century (1870s-90s) to get out of participating in the many wars that were fought in that part of the world before there were unified countries. My dad grew up in a plains state small town where everyone spoke only German until the us entered WW1 at which time they cut all ties to Germany and started teaching everyone English. By the time he was born all of the younger generations only spoke English, my dad knew a few words, songs and prayers in German but that was it. The town he grew up in is still probably 95% Germanic and most of the people who live there are somehow related to me (my dad’s dad was one of 14 kids, my dad was one of 6…)[/quote]
