Hmmm.. let's see... on my mom's side of the family, my Great-Grandparents came over from Russia when they were kids, in 1899... on my dad's side I think some of my Great-Great-Grandparents came from England, Scotland, and Ireland at some point in time. So that makes me, what 4th-5th-ish generation? (I dunno, I can't count

)
And since then, my family has definitely not moved around very much. The farm where my dad grew up got recognized as a 'Century Farm' or something, where it had been in the family for 100 years. My aunt and uncle and cousins live there now.

As for my mom's side, the place where the Doukhabor village that all the landed Russian immigrants settled is like 5 miles from my parents' house.
As a result, I'm related to like half the town where I grew up.

Well, anybody whose families have been there for a while. How's that for being a hick?
