What I know about my family’s ancestry is all on my blog; that was the original reason for writing it. It’s branched out into a lot of strange stuff since then.
In a nutshell:
my maternal grandmother had ancestors from Germany and England
her husband was Irish through and through
paternal grandparents were both of Scottish ancestry.
my husbands mother’s roots are Swedish
his father’s English, Metis, and predominantly French
just for fun and after no one in particular, we gave our daughter a Danish and a French name; our son got Swedish and Scottish.
which makes our children
really and truly
authentically
Canadian.
