Re: Your background
Well I'm not sure on mine completely but I'll put a few points.
mothers side/ Grandfather: Lived in German territorial parts of Poland for most of his growing up. When WW2 era rolled around he was put in a camp because he was living in Poland. He doesn't want to go over it much so I'm not certain. Anyways, he came to Canada and met my grandmother.
mothers side / grandmother: Of german descendance, grew up in Vernon, BC. Her relatives were so german that a lot of them were fighting for the Nazis. I actually met one when I was young, my Uncle Bill.
fathers side / grandmother: straight out WASP. Lived in the Praries and came from english/scottish families. The english side was Grainger, and the scottish side is from the Hunter clan.
fathers side / grandfather: Straight Norwegian from norway, came from a small fishing island if I remember correctly. When they came, their last names were Larsen, but for some reason or another canadian customs were dickheads so we could either be Larson or Goodmanson. We chose Larson.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
