I'm going to be looking forward to your grandma stories. I never knew my paternal grandmother and my paternal grandfather never spoke of Ireland, and he died when I was only about 7. My maternal grandparents were both born in NYC. So I have no immigrant stories about my family.

I know about my great-great grandfather and grandmother on the maternal side. My grandmother was actually a college graduate. She was a teacher in Iowa. They all spoke English, so I imagine they were born here.

On my paternal side, it's the same thing.

Maybe they all met on the Mayflower. Dang that ship must have been full.
