Bucket list getting filled

[floridafan]

I just got back from a week in Germany and am able to check off several items on my bucket list.

• Drove on several unlimited sections of the Autobahn, my fastest speed a leisurely 185 kph.
• Skied the glacier at the top of Zugspitze.
• Attended a World Cup downhill (womens).
• Skied the Kandahar.
• Visited Liechtenstein (one of four countries that day).
• Visited one of my ancestral homes, including a working dairy farm still operated by my distant cousins.

Do you also have wet dreams?

is it OK for Black Americans to be proud of their family historys too

I did my DNA test through "23 and me". All it dies it narrow you down to regions. My Scots-Irish comes back as "British Isles". The only surprise was a small amount of Norwegian, and that was not expected, based on the written history.

On the German side my history is well documented. Germans kept excellent records and my name is not common.

That's why I want to do it.

I keep telling my wife that maybe I'm the long lost heir to a castle, land, and a sizeable fortune.

The only time I drove on the Autobahn there was a traffic jam. Ski-ing has never tempted me, but those of my friends who go in for it usually break at least a leg, Do keep it up, Dark Soul!

Sounds like my trip to the coast road in California. I drove an hour to get to it, then about two minutes on it before traffic came to a dead stop on a blind corner. After waiting ten minutes my wife had to get out of the car to stop traffic while I turned around and left. (I didn't leave her there. )

I've been to Garmisch many times when I lived in Franken in the '90's. First took up white water kayaking on the Loisach River. Wife is from Leipzig so still go back often.
No desire to live there though.

If you are of Scots-Irish or English decent, there should be zero surprise to have Norwegian heritage.

England was conquered and settled by Vikings, and Ireland was routinely raided and settled by Vikings. I believe the city of Dublin is actually an old Viking settlement.

I've been wanting to do one of the DNA tests, to see what part of Europe my ancestors immigrated from.

Our last name is not one that's common in Europe and I'm pretty sure that it was "changed" at Ellis Island.

Interesting side note:
It appears that my Great Grandfather was married to two sisters at the same time.
We uncovered a census from back then and my Grandfather and his sister are listed in two different homes.
The only difference is a middle initial for both and birthdays that are different by 1 day.

The homes were only 1 home away from each other.

Uh. You live in Mormon Country, right?

Hey! Glad you had a good time for yourself OPie.

If you carried out some of your lifetime goals- even better still.

I'll just close with Congratulations and Thanks for sharing!
