born in Greenville NC (hello to Matt R), though I grew up in durham nc, and now live in Falls Church VA (also known as the greater DC area) but go to school in new york state. and while one grandmother was born and riased in a tiny waustrian village, my mother's family are all scoth-irich-enlgish from east tennessee, and my father's family alsi fought with william the conqueror and had a pair of brothers come over in the 1600s -- mebbe my ancestors and kendalls were neighbors.

in the south, there's the distinction between where you're /from/ (where you were born or where your 'people' -- family-- are) and where you live (your address).
