Now that's it convenient again, the Bach-to-Mom is back to touting her "Iwegian" heritage.
Bachmann said she was a 7th generation Iowan, descended from Norwegians who immigrated to Iowa in the 1850s....
She wants the people of Iowa to see her as one of them, so she simply changed her family history.
Her great-great-great grandparents hadn't gone from Quebec to Iowa. They had settled in Wisconsin.
What about all those hardships that Bachmann says her ancestors persevered through during their first few years in Iowa....none of this happened in Iowa, because her ancestors weren't in Iowa. And it didn't happen in Wisconsin either. This all happened in the Dakota Territory.
Did her faithful ancestors really persevere and keep going? Well, no. They were among the settlers written about in the History of southeastern Dakota who "abandoned the Territory for the purpose of making homes elsewhere."
