On my mother's side were German and English; my father's family were Welsh and Irish, so we have pretty much covered Great Britain (except for the Scots... but I have visited Scotland).<br />All of my family are from the deep South, Georgia to be exact, right in the Bible belt. Mother's family were Methodists; my father's family Baptist & Episcopalian. The Baptists are deep into the religious stuff. Me, well, I'm mostly Episcopal or Druid and definitely have the kinky/curly Irish hair although it is not red.<br />Loved your post!<br />I am so fortunate to have developed liberal views as a teen. And I am immensely happy to know such a variety of people through Blogland.Cheryl Catohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294358830518520566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-90069797034965144442012-09-28T17:32:53.429-07:002012-09-28T17:32:53.429-07:00Let's see...I'm half Greek, half German, J...Let's see...I'm half Greek, half German, Jack's family came over on the Mayflower (my family was in the row boat behind!)

My grandfather's brother chose to take his family to Canada and stayed there. Maternal Grandfather was French, originally from France but came to the US through Jamaica. They spoke mainly french in their home.Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-38508845654126559372012-09-28T07:49:25.556-07:002012-09-28T07:49:25.556-07:00What more can I say?

Accepting and adjusting to different thinking, customs, family expectations, cultures, religions, traditions, languages, etc. may - in the eyes of many - certainly be interesting and exotic, but it can also be tough, tough, tough with the mishmash of above. Even for our children it cannot have been easy at times and may still not be.<br /><br />For me, there has always been a pervasive feeling of rootlessness and not really belonging. But what, thankfully, has developed is a sense of open-mindedness, enrichment, understanding, tolerance and appreciation of our differences and diversity, which was passed on to our children and, hopefully, to our grandchildren as well.Helgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16518800492926368406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6257034884908994204.post-3150343108941377632012-09-27T13:44:09.588-07:002012-09-27T13:44:09.588-07:00what a rich and beautiful tapestry your family wea...what a rich and beautiful tapestry your family weaves.
