For those of you who are able to trace their ancestry back to another country...

66. I haven't traced mine any farther back than my grandparents.

I know my mother's family has been in the US for many generations, except for one great grandfather, who came from Germany (don’t know the exact location) in the 19th century, settled in Georgia, and got drafted to serve in the Civil War, on the Confederate side.

My father's parents came over from the UK - Blackpool, England, to be exact - in 1911. They were of Irish descent, but were both born in England and identified as British. I don't know what part (s) of Ireland their ancestors were from or how long ago any of them emigrated to England. I very much want to visit England, especially Blackpool, my father's birthplace, but I feel less of an attachment to Ireland and wouldn't know where to visit there specifically.

Obviously I need to do lot more genealogical work on my family history, but it is what it is.
