[quote=Anonymous]My Mom's family is easy - she's first generation US born and there are still cousins that live in the family village in Slovakia.  It's beautiful - at the foot of the Tatra mountains near the border with Poland.

But, it's really small.  There's about 1500 folks that live there.  Many of the younger generations have moved to larger nearby towns.

Sometimes think about what it would be like to live there.

I've gone twice - once after college and again about 20 years later with my own kids.  I thought it was important for them to see.

My Dad's side is harder - his side has been in the US for many generations and we know the town in Germany where some of his relatives were born.  His Dad was born and raised in Pittsburgh and his Mom was born in Baltimore, so that's not too exacting.  Heck, my Dad still lives in the house that he was raised, so going back to Pittsburgh is pretty easy to see "history!"

At this point in my life, I would be open to moving "home" to Pittsburgh.  [/quote]
