About the stereotype of Americans...I pretty much agree there, though I admit I do feel a tad out of place when I see ice cream in red, white and blue. |

My father's parents were Polish. His mother escaped to Russia at the beginning of the war and was recruited into the Red Army as a nurse. Towards the end of the war she was stationed in my Grandfather's town. One day she was in a tailors store and after an attractive young gentleman left she heard the tailor say "Bloody Jew, Hitler should have killed them all!". This surprised her as she'd been under the impression that he had. So she followed my grandfather home and started stalking him, first becoming friends with his sister (the only one to survive) and eventually getting her claws into him. :D So anyway, they were married in a Displaced Person's camp in Germany, where my father was born and then got on a ship to Australia when he was one. |
Yes it is true I am part Sioux but I came to find out I wasn't as much as I though, I am mostly German and Luxembourgish which make up 5/8 of my ancestry. I am also a 1/32 Russian unless Pavolna isn't Russian and Kiev isn't in Russia (which it is). In WW1 I had ancestors on both sides...at the same battle, same thing with the Revolutionary war. But what is more intresting is the German WWI part, because it was in this battle my 18 year-old American great great grandfather was wounded and taken into care as a "hostage" but was apperently treated quite well by the Germans. But it was my other German great great grandfather who saved him in no mans land, and that is how his son ended up marrying my American great great grandfathers daughter. I could trace some of my ancestry back some total of 600 years, and found out I was related to all kinds of neat people, like the brother of Captain Kidd, directly to Albretch von Durer, the German painter, Lord Mayor of London (Thomas Adams I think, 1600 something) The Duchy of Luxembourg, Archbishop of Worms and other stuff I could bore you with
PS I working on fixing the signature moderators PSS Does anyone know anything about Luxembourg? Does it have a mainly German culture or is it a even mix of French and German? |
Interesting story. But Kiev is in Ukraine.

I meant historical Russia not modern day Russia, I should have explained that. By the way did you ever wonder in a battle for Europe would rule? Thats my question who would conquer all
