I'm mostly German, there's some deep dark secrets on my mom's dad's side, even my mom's mom wasn't sure what. My grandfather was born out of wedlock (which was a big deal in the early 1900's) and he was raised by nuns and a close family friend. Since both my grandma and grandpa have passed away, the truth will probably never be known. I did some geneology research several years ago, trying to find out, but I didn't get far with that. I did do some research on my grandmother's side and my dad's family's side and I found out some interesting things, even found the records where they came over on the Ellis Island website. I have a big thick folder on that, I'll have to organize it someday.
