Roger in Baltimore How ethnically diverse are we? (186* d) RE: How ethnically diverse are we? 03 Jun 99


On my father's side, I am fifth generation German immigrant. Balthasar and Cunnigunda fled Germany and arrived in Carroll County in 1850. On my mother's side, I am second generation Swedish.

I have no sense that these influence my music or any other behavior. Although my maternal grandparents were native Swedes, they seldom spoke Swedish and, aside from drinking, did not celebrate any obvious Swedish customs. And on my father's side, there were no hints of Germanic ancestry except for my last name.
