    I'm also adopted, but I do know this about my birth parents: Father was Italian. Was the leader of a dance band in northern california in the early 60's. Mother was English.

    I definitely relate much more to the Italian musician side of my heritage!!

    I am German-Irish....fun story..my great great great grandmother was landed gentry in Germany (some sort of Lord of the manor-semi royalty thing) any way a local farm boy fell in love with her ( and I think a little hanky panky too)....her father found out and secluded her in a convent farm boy rescued her in the night and they escaped and came to the united states... true or not it makes for a fun family story... her grandaughter--Verdie Alma Hulda met and married a full blooded Irish man Marion Lee and then we got all the best of both.....short temper and hold a grudge forever...LOL

    Born in Arizona and I'm mutt. LOL j/k

    My great grandfather immigrated from Ireland, when my grandad turned 11 he was basically thrown out of the house to fend for himself. My grandpa didn't talk to his dad until some 30 years later...when his dad was on his deathbed, actually he didn't say anything to him at that point either. Yea, so that side of the family can hold a grudge!

    My mom's dad was an orphan from Mexico, he was informally adopted by a Mormon family when he was a kid (about 12'ish). He never converted to Mormonism, which I always found kinda interesting. My gramma grew up in Texas, her mother (my great-gramma) immigrated to Texas a few years before she met her husband.
