No one imigrated because they were bored with the weather.
Well, maybe the scandinavians.

OMG...I am laughing so hard. So true. One of my relatives was put in a barrel and rolled across the river from Louisiana to Texas to avoid a murder charge. Was that the Red River?
Well, that is what my family says....but what do they know?
The tragedy of the disfunction family seem to be from the struggles of life conditions that were never bargin for. And those in society always lay at the doorstep in those days the stigma of Judgement.
Man kind always so quick to shame another into protocal, but the Lord motto is ~ CHARITY NEVER FAILETH!

My ancestors immigrated to escape the Bolsheviks. The ones that didn't make it out were marched off to Siberia. As far as I know, most of them didn't live to enjoy the lovely weather.
Mine came because they were hungry ... that and they heard American's had good beer :0)
