[quote=Anonymous]My parents live in the same town (in the US) where my mother’s family has lived since the 1770s. There are times when I feel a pull to move there, but it’s a town of 14,000 (and dwindling), so in reality I do not want to live there. Most people are like my mother - they move away for college and don’t move back until they’re retired. I haven’t yet visited any of the places in Europe my family came from, so I’m not sure how I’ll feel, but I am a highly sentimental person, so… A couple of years ago we visited the country my husband’s family fled as refugees when he was a wee tyke. Both my FIL’s childhood home and the house where my in-laws lived when my husband was a baby are still standing, so we were able to see them. My husband found it interesting but nothing more. I think I was more moved than he was (see: highly sentimental, above).[/quote]
