Question: What makes up your family's heritage!? Which one interests you most!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Dutch, English, Scottish, Irish, Swiss French (both Protestant & Catholic), Silesian-Polish-Prussian, and unknowable!. Most of these lines floated across the pond under dismal conditions from 1638 to 1720!.

All of them are interesting, because they were just people struggling to survive!. Even my brick wall people are important!.

My best luck has been with the Dutch, Scottish, Swiss & Prussian lines because they were highly educated, and wrote about their adventures, or did things that other wrote about!.

My general impression is that we are all spoiled brats compared to our recent ancestors and what they endured!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm English, French, Irish, Scottish, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Bavarian, and possibly a little bit Native American!. But actually the thing that interests me the most about my heritage is that I come from a very, very long line of Catholics on my mother's side who remained Catholic even when it was very difficult to be so in England!. It's a heritage I've become more proud of as time has gone on and one that, although I have a lot of issues with Catholicism, I don't want to abandon because of the faith and determination of my ancestors!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
