I have never been much into the family tree thing. I have always been kind of afraid to shake my family tree..never know what may fall out lol. I can tell you who my grandparents are on either side but that is about as far back as I go. Mom and Dad always said we have a lot of native american a little irish and some black dutch in our back ground.

I’m in the same boat I’m a true and true Heinz 57 American. A product of the melting pot. On my Mom’s side in English and native American on my Dad’s side is Alsatian (from the time when Germany owned it), English and Native American. I’m sure there is some other stuff in there it’s hard to tell. One day we will just call ourselves Americans.

On my Dads side it's all German. They came from the area around Hamburg and there are few records left pre WW II. On Moms side it's Scottish and Irish. Hamilton and MacNeil of Barra on the scottish side and Butler on the Irish side.

Homemade sauce, pasta, bread, tiramisu, cappucino, homemade cheeses, wine, baccala, homemade sausage, frittatta, pancetta, mortadella, proscuitto, anchovies, biscotti, olive oil, olives, balsamic vinegar, pomodoro tomatoes torrone, annisette, truffles, pepperoni, soppressata, salami, pepperoncini, risotto, and of course - St. Joseph's Day.
