Most of my ancestors are from Wales, Scotland, and England, but I think there were a few Irish in the mix as well. My husband's all come from China and Taiwan so we are quite a pair! I love to learn about history. Right now, I'm finding myself fascinated with the history of Southeast Asia since I live here but know so little. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this book at Booknificent Thursday this week!<br />TinaTina at Mommynificent.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126804458372736293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-41504055150314668112015-08-13T19:10:05.459-04:002015-08-13T19:10:05.459-04:00I love history, especially the Regency and early C...I love history, especially the Regency and early Colonial American periods.Susan Heimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09323688336142448174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-33755858451753172752015-08-13T19:06:59.099-04:002015-08-13T19:06:59.099-04:00One set of grandparents migrated to the US from Ru...One set of grandparents migrated to the US from Russia in the early 20th century.

I'm sure there are a few others blended in there for good measure and it wouldn't surprise me if Irish wasn't one. I mean, red hair does run in our family. :)<br /><br />As for my own children, they are half Puerto Rican and it is very dominate as far as their outer features show. I have learned from my husband that Puerto Rico is a large mix of ancestral nationalities, as well. My husband's mom was African descent P.R. with dark skin and eyes while his dad was Spanish descent P.R. with light skin and blue eyes.<br /><br />My favorite time in history to read about or study is early 20th century. So much of who my Grandmother and Mom are is a result of that time.Terrill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12096283120994336230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-43390826329059379232015-08-12T04:48:39.537-04:002015-08-12T04:48:39.537-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Terrill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12096283120994336230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-30476330202067874212015-08-12T04:47:37.304-04:002015-08-12T04:47:37.304-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Terrill R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12096283120994336230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5811895298125323943.post-29246024577308566652015-08-11T16:18:44.917-04:002015-08-11T16:18:44.917-04:00From the little I know of my family history, my mo...From the little I know of my family history, my mothers ancestors came from Germany and my fathers from England.
