Your American Story

Not Afraid and I have a common ancestor who came over on the Mayflower. That's on my mother's side. My mother's family are 110% WASPs who came over very early in the game.

My dad's side is completely different. His father left the Jewish ghetto in Riga, Latvia and (probably illegally) came to New York City. There, he met my grandmother, a Canadian through and through. They stayed long enough for their two children to be born in New York, then moved to Toronto. My dad was a U.S. citizen by birth but proud that he had grown up and gone to school in Canada.
