[carolinablonde]

I am proud to report my score:

83% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

As a matter of fact, yes I do.

42% barely Yankee, not bad considering I live 12 years in germany, 20 years in the midwest 5 years in the south and 10 in maine, and seven I can't account for.

Just shows I was not totally corrupted.

[Maria S]

"71% (Dixie). That is a pretty strong Southern score!"

What'd ya expect? I get upset stomaches if I go further north than OKC.

[azhenfud]

86% (Dixie). Did you have any Confederate ancestors?

Well, yes. I'm eighth generation North Carolinian. My Grands were here before the state or nation was.

[SilentServiceCPOWife]

60% Dixie (barely Dixie)

It fits me pretty well. I was born in Maine and lived there until I was 10, lived in TX for a couple of years and then moved to VA when I was 13 and I've been here since then.

In spite of bouncing from coast to coast in the Navy, and spending almost 2 decades in California, I still got 87% Dixie.

[mystery-ak]

53% barely Dixie....hmmm...I grew up all over the world since my dad was career AF..

[azhenfud]

Where abouts are you in NC? I'm in Whiteville.

[Celtjew Libertarian]

49% (Yankee -- barely into Yankee territory).

I was raised in upstate NY and have parents who grew up in Brooklyn, but have lived in North Florida for more than 15 years and married a woman who grew up in Atlanta and here.

No surprise I'm a linguistic mishmash.

[taxcontrol]

70% Dixie - not bad.

[ShadowDancer]

63% Dixie, A Definite Southern Score? Great, now I have to start chewing tobacco and looking for a family member to have sex with.

[americanMel]

No surprise....74% (Dixie). Should have been 100% seein' as how I was raised here in Texas.

The other 26% must be t.v.'s influence and possibly some from the excrutiating time I lived in California during the 90s.

[NeoCaveman]

"59% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category."

And I live near Lake Erie.

[mhking]

57% (Dixie). Barely into the Dixie category.

Considering I've only been in the south for 10 years (plus it seemed to nail my midwestern roots), I guess it's OK...

[highlandbreeze]

78% Dixie! =-P

My great (no sure how many more 'greats' after that) granddad was born 1657 in North Carolina.
