With all that English ancestry, we might even be related :-) I was born and raised in Rochester, New York. Ended up in the Utica/Rome area around 1972 with my then husband. I remember my brother writing home about the tunnels of Cu Chi. He said they even found Singer sewing machines in them. Quite the black market over there so he said. I’ve seen the YouTube videos, and years ago I bought the book “The Tunnels of Cu Chi” by Tom Mangold. I gave it to my niece after her father died. She was only 16 at the time. Now she’s married with four kids of her own, that of course he never got to see or enjoy.

When I looked at your DNA numbers I thought we might be related too :)
I'll bet you were born in St Mary's Hospital, Dr. Dimarsico.
Even though my parents lived in Brooklyn in '47, my mother came home to Rochester to have me. We stayed in Brooklyn until was I was 4, then moved out further on LI. The family them moved to Rah-cha-cha in '64. Just in time for the riots.
I like to think our Norwegian and Swedish DNA links back to our Viking ancestors.
