PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"I'm returning to my roots" |
LAST EDITED ON 07-05-05 AT 00:09 AM (EST) how fitting that as we celebrate our independence from the Brits, I'm dashing around tonight attempting to get my belongings crammed into two cases so that I can go back and immerse myself in their world for a month starting TOMORROW! Ack. It's here. I can't believe it. I convinced Mr. Kim to let me take the laptop with me, so you shan't be rid of me for long. I am really actually only posting this to show off my shiny new sig pic that I will be flaunting all this month. In order to make this a more interactive post, though, what are YOUR roots? Me, I'm English and Scottish on my dad's side and Dutch on my mother's. Kim in London courtesy of Ice Cat, HRH of sig pics.

*cough*mailman*cough*Actually my family is like that, I'm English on one side and Estonian on the other (Baltic state, so near Viking type). We are all pretty fair with moderate burn, barely tan skin Except? my one brother looks Mexican, and definitely tans like he is Mexican. People sometimes come up to him that do not know him and start speaking Spanish. At least with Dad from Estonia, we have some genetics that makes me think one of the Mongols or Huns that wamdered through left some genes behing (blood type, lactose intolerance...things that are more Asian than Northern European in ethnich origin). I think the darker skin genes musta come from there. Where is Mr Potter when you need him?

My maternal grandfather was born in Dundee, Scotland and emigrated to the US as a wild six-year old in 1912. In 1997 I was fortunate enough to visit Dundee and found the cemetery (actually called a necropolis) where his mother and uncle are buried. This was my second trip to the UK. Ive found the Brits a very friendly and helpful lot, especially to tourists. Many a time whilst wandering in London, map book in hand, someone would ask what landmark I was looking for.My maternal grandmother was from Detroit, her parents had come to the US from central Europe as Jewish refugees at the turn of the century. On my fathers side, Oakies and Arkies going back several generations, but the family names are Germanic and English.
Yet another Syren gem Š MMV Now siggie-comment free!

I'm almost exactly the same except Mom's Parents were English and Dad's parents were from Estonia. The languages are really closely related, I don't know if the people are.When Dad was little they lived near a town in Canada that was almost all Estonian, the next town over was Finnish and they went there alot for supplies and even though you knew the language was a bit different, they were close enough to get business done easily. Where is Mr Potter when you need him?

Hmmm, I almost thought you were talking about dying hair roots. Mine are growing out, hee hee. My mother's ancestry can be traced back to 600 AD, beginning in England, with some Irish, Native American, and Hungarian thrown in for good measure. My dad's family is Pennsylvania Dutch, English, and German. I have geneology on that side back to the 1700's in Pennsylvania, west of the Gettysburg area. Sigs by Bob! Like nuthin you've seen before!

On Father's side... I'm English (evidently, from the 3-volume familay biography, Mayflower descended. Supposedly there was a duel & he left, after killing whoever he was dueling. - it was, at that time, a capital crime... who knows, for sure? But thhe biographer seems to have done real research), certainly, at least, DAR, since I have seen evidence of that, et al, (although I've never joined, nor had a desire to do so). Mom's side? My GF was REALLY an orphaned baby left at the church door. He was taken in by a member of the congregation. Legend has it that he was fathered by John Wilkes Booth. Who knows? It was the right time frame, he'd been in the area, & been involved withh my GGM. Pictures (I never knew him) are eerily similar. *SHRUG* http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/CTDSites

German and German. Mother from Bavaria and Dad from northern Germany, near the Dutch border. Both sides of the family have been traced back many many generations. And the predominant occupation, on both sides, is brewer. Go figure.

How cool! Not only do you get to go to London for a whole month, but you also get to keep in touch with those of us who are stuck here across the pond!!!I? am all Irish from my mom's side. The grandparents familys came from Tipparary. I would so love to get there one day & try to look up some of the kinfolk. On my dad's side, there are Germans & Brits. Grandfather emigrated from Germany, he married Grandma before he came over, but G'ma was adopted out of an orphanage in England, so there could be other stuff mixed in with the Brit side. Mostly though, I'm a New Yawkah! A Generous IceCat Creation!

Have an excellent time, Kim. Be sure to hit up a pub and drink some Tetley's Bitter and eat steak and ale pies. Don't do what I did and have 7 drinks a night, accompanied by curry fries and meat pie; I managed to gain nearly 10 pounds in 2 weeks. Walk a lot. Study the Underground map. You have no idea how much smarter it is to take the Underground than to ever even think of getting in a London taxi. Oh, and check out the Tate Modern... it's at the Southwark underground station.I? Am one of the few representatives of The Chosen PeopleŽ (::waves to Puffy, Debs, and Rolly: so my background's a bit funky. On my dad's side, it's all about the Jewish countries. Belarus, Palestine by way of Romania, Lithuania, and Ukraine. Very sunburn prone. On my mom's side, it's... well, an interesting contrast. English, Scottish, Irish, and Prussian. I'm certain that at least one of them was anti-semitic Oh boy, what a beer!

Oh my heck, is it London time all ready? We're sure gonna miss you, but I'm glad to hear you'll be able to touch base from time to time. Have a fabulous time!I'm mostly Irish on both sides, one branch came over in the late 1700's, the other in the late 1800's. A little Pennsylvania Dutch thrown in, just to make it interesting. It's a bob wannabe! I inherited the fiery temper and pale skin, but not the natural red hair. Thanks to modern science, that can be remedied.
