Born London,England, there till '74, mostly Norwich, Norfolk since.
One set of grandparents from Odessa,Ukraine(before then in the Austro-Hungarian Empire - so 200 years ago the family name was Mozart, but it then drifted). Another grandparent from Lithuania, and 4th from Yorkshire. Been around a little, now rather hermit-like (with books,LPs, and older daughter).

We're all migrants, cos that's what our primitive ancestors did for thousands of years.

Live in San Francisco, born and raised in Lancashire, England. Lived in a dozen other countries inbetween, worked in about 30.Still FROM Lancashire though (see MC handle) even though when I go "home" now people say "where are you from?" Been acused (by a Yorkshireman) of having an accent, "half George Formby, half John Wayne"!!!

A reborn thread, eh. My story isn;t very interesting.

In a woods south of Chicago - looks like a MS sharecroppers house only a little wider. Some of the time near Fort Meyers but I sublet the joint for a couple months (my error) and I am freezing my buns off here. It easn't nearly this cold last December.

I'm not sure where my home is these days.

We own a vacant and temporarily uninhabitable home in one New Orleans neighborhood, recently began renting a small apartment in another higher-and-drier section New Orleans, and have not yet moved out of my childhood home in New Jersey. (At the moment, I'm in NJ and my wife is in NO.)

It's very confusing. I'll wonder about a particular item (piece of clothing, book, scribbled note, etc.), remember that I left it on a table "back home," and then realize that the home in question is 1400 miles away...

Born in Aberdeen, my Mother's home town.

Lived a nomadic childhood as a son of an RAF Father.

Now settled in Middlesbrough, where it turns out my family have lived for generations.

I have my family tree on my website. Periodically it produces interesting contacts.
