And Canucks call us strange..
And here I thought Intercourse, and Blue Ball, Pennsylvania was weird.
I have Canadian ancestry. My mother was born there. Came to the U.S. as a little girl with her mother and brother. We used to tease her about it all the time. She never knew her family history. I discovered that many of her Canadian ancestors, originally came over from England (at least 3 on The Mayflower), and settled in New York, Massachusetts, R.I. and Connecticut. A large part of her family history is from England, Wales, and Scotland. During the Revolutionary War, some of her ancestors were Loyalists, and some were Patriots. The Loyalists eventually left and headed for Canada. My father was born in Holland, but my mother also had Dutch ancestors who settled in New Amsterdam long before my father came here in 1912. I'm supposed to be a cousin of Tim Horton, but of course never knew of the family connection, until long after he died.
