My maternal side has a pretty interesting story. All I know is that they fled Germany to the US during the war. They changed their last name, refused to tell their kids what it was, and wouldn't teach any of them to speak German.
I am all sorts of convinced that we where gypsies or somethin'
My mom thinks they were related to Hitler. lol.

They were probably Jewish.
There is that option too. We have no idea. It's kinda sad. We lost a ton of heritage, whomever we were.
I just ordered the cutest pair of shoes from DSW with a gift card I got for Christmas. Wahoo!

There are ways to find out. I can probably help you if you're interested.
That would be really awesome. I have always wondered, but hit a wall when we couldn't find their real last name.
Family history is some cool stuff,
My dad found out about a year ago that his Great Great (maybe throw in another great) Aunt (or something of that sort) was the founder of the Seventh-Day Adventist Church in some central/south american country (my dad told me but I forgot, I want to say Puerto Rico, but I don't think that's right)
That's pretty exciting considering that I'm Seventh-Day Adventist
My mom also knows that her family came to America on the Mayflower way back when.
what am I doing now?"
resting my brain for a second and then going to play on the piano

I did a lot of genealogy about ten years ago. It was very exciting. I learned a lot about my ancestors, met relatives I'd never known about (and I hadn't even won the lottery), and got to stomp around cemeteries and old ancestral homesteads.
Trying to decide whether to keep trying to force my way through my one WIP, or give myself a break and play a game or try to work on another WIP...I have been at the computer writing on it for like five hours now.
My husband has a mini stroke if I even talk about browsing B&N. I have an expensive book habit, apparently.
My wife gets the same way. She loves going there too but worries about my spending when we're there LOL!
... wondering what island Jenn is on? Maybe it's a figurative one. Often feel that isolated, myself, in the midst of company, mind.
