[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was born in Fairfax, lived in Ashburn for 9 years, moved to DC for 4 years and is now moving to Roanoke where my family is from. I lived in DC for over 20 years prior to moving to Northern Virginia and back to DC. She’s asked us where does she say that she is from when she moves to Roanoke. Her dad says she is from Roanoke because my family roots are from Roanoke. His reference point is that he says Ghana when asked where he is from though he was born in America. I would say she could say she’s from Virginia (Northern Virginia) but lived in DC for 3 years. FWIW I still say I am from DC. [/quote]

Why would your dh tell her to say Roanoke bc your family roots are there? Shouldn’t she also say Ghana bc his family roots are there? Neither makes sense for her.

She can say NoVa or DC area like the pp’s said.

She can say that she has family in both Roanoke and Ghana if she feels it is relevant.

Your dh is from wherever he grew up but he can say his family is Ghanaian. Just like someone can say I grew up in [name of US city] but my family is Irish/Italian/Polish. Although most people would likely not get that detailed.

Good luck to your dd - it isn’t clear if you and your dh are also moving.
