        I wish I knew them all,I know some are from Africa,but as a black American it's all hush hush,but my parents are from southern Louisiana and we are creole,my paternal grandmother spoke no English,all grandparents were fluent in creole except for one,I know there's a lot of something else there every time I look in the mirror,maybe one day I'll pay and have DNA,and unveil those secrets.

          On my Dad's side of the family - England. On my Mom's side of the family, all of Europe. A few from here, a few from there, a few extras for somewhere else. Toss 'em all in a bag and shake it up and - ta da - here I am.

                all of my mother's grandparents were from Holland. That's why I was named after Queen Juliana.
                My father's mother was from Southern Germany. She came to the states before W W II , and had nothing to do with the Nazis.
                My father's ancestors came here in 1635 from England and they donated a bushel of Indian corn to the construction of Harvard. :-)
