Re: What country/countries did your grandparents immagrate from?
Ok, I'll start:
Both set of grandparents born in Italy. On my mother's side, they came to U.S. in early 1900's and oldest aunt was born in Italy but the rest of the children, 11 of them (yes, 11!!) born in U.S. Unfortunately, only 9 grew to adulthood.
Father's side is a little different. Hate to admit it but grandpa had to leave Italy as he was accused of shooting someone (yes, I just said that - don't know if the man died) and he took my grandmother who was probably only 16-17 at the time and they went to South America, Argentina, I believe. There they had 3 children and then came to the U.S., where they had 3 more children. After I heard this story when I was a little girl, I always paid attention to what grandpa said. Certainly didn't want to get on his bad side!!!
Now you know where my shyness comes from, Kathie :redface: :redface:
