MY HERITAGE
Where do I come from??
My great grandparents on my mothers fathers side were
each part of a family that immigrated from italy.
My 2x great grandfather on my maternal grandmothers side
immigrated from Germany. He was dropped off at a German
orphanage, thus we dont know much about that part of the
family before him.
He was very stern, and ran a very stern corporal punishment
household. Became softer in his later years.
Paternal relations were scarcely talked about: I know someone
on my grandfathers side immigrated from Germany, my
grandmother, was born and raised in Augusta Georgia, in the
era of prohibition, to a family that illegally ran shine.
