  1. Thanks for sharing! Yep, my roots are in Europe, one grandpa came from Norway in 1908, the other from Scotland in 1923. One grandmas' parents came from Denmark in the 1880's, the others parents came from England in the 1870's. My husband's ancestors came from Germany, Norway, Ireland and Scotland.
