    My genelogical break down is English,Irish, a tiny bit of Scottish, German, a little jewish, and cheerokee. But from what I am told English and Irish for the most part. I think I have more English than Irish but I am not sure.

    Thanks for the banner, Sombolia.

    My mom says that she is related to someone that was a rider on the Pony Express. That's not really famous or anything, but interesting I guess.

    My mom claims that her great grandmother had a town named after her in Minnesota.

    Eh it isn't much... but whatever

    My mom also supposedly dated Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart's Head Mechanic in high school.(Labonte and Stewart are NASCAR drivers).

    My so-many-greats grandfather was Squanto, the Native American who welcomed the first pilgrims to America. In fact, I am one of his few remaining decendents. Since you all seem to be European, I guess I get to play your host! lol'

    I am half French, a quarter Wampanoag, and a quarter German. the Wampanoag stands out most for some reason.

    Our time on this planet is precious, and can be snuffed out at any moment. Every second of every day should mean something.
