I was born and raised American, but my ancestors were German and Indian (Cherokee, I believe).

A bit of history in my family is Billy Bishop -- a WW1 flying ace -- he is my 5th cousin on my father' s side.

yeah me and my friends were bored in the computer lab so we went on the comp encyclopedia thingi and typed in our last names and it turns out im related to a famous horse racer that i forgot the name of. something shoemaker

I think I have a tiny amount of Russian in me as well, so I am all for communism.

That was pretty uncalled for... O I forgive you tho, its a common sterio type. Actually majority of Russians are anti-communist right now. As in, they hate the guts of anyone bent on comunnism. The idea is good, the results are not that good because some of the equal people end up being more eqal then others.. heh

Anyways I hail from the MOTHERLAND. Born in Russia, Moscow and have since then migrated to the Californian Sillocon Valley. My heratage is Russian, Mongolian, Greek, Swiss, Jewish. My family are the great desendans of Gangaskans embassidor/general to Moscow durring the anchient times when most of the known continent was conquered by Mongolia. Basically my family took great pride in fighting the second world war against Facists in Europe. Thou afterwards Stalin purged my family line heavily & I hate him for it.

Otherwise yeah we have many medals, and stories and Im proud to be Russian because I just cant belive some of American political idiotism. Althou at the moment they do have enough nukes to cause a Tri-Apocalypse! I do love America in general for all the wonderfull things it stands for and has brought about. The point with this is that even thou I am not an American citizen I consider it to be now a good part of my heratage since Ive been living here for the last ten years.
