Chatterbox: Down to Earth

I was just

I was just wondering where everybuggy is from.  I'm from so many countries, Poland and Russia on my Mom's side (I'm Jewish) and Ireland and England on my Dad's side (everyone says I look Irish). My last name is Celtic for Cold Brook or Running Brook or something like that.

back to the Down to Earth

Ooh, you mean like our ancestry? Cool. :) I've wanted

to find out more about my ancestry for a long time, and

this year I think I'm fianlly going to get started on it

(I know, people say it can take years to trace back,

but I don't mind). Anyway, on my mom's side there is

alot of Irish, and some Scottish, too (probably alot of

other European in there, too, but she's mainly Irish).

On my dad's side there is alot of Cherokee indian

(indian as in Native American) and some Irish, too,

but mostly Cherokee. I get alot of my looks from my

dad.

As part of Emma's "Movement", I am revitalizing this thread because I think it's an interesting topic.

 

On my mom's side I have Polish, German, and Danish.  On my dad's side, most of my ancestors came from Russia or the surrounding former-Soviet-Union countries.  What about everyone else?
