6Th generation, on both my Mom and Dad's side, in these hills of North Alabama.
Both my Grandmother's trace back to Native Americans. Echota Cherokee and Choctaw.
Both of my Grandfather's were of European blood. However both families have been on
this side of the pond since the 1700's.
David

Born in New Mexico, but been here in Mississippi since I was 5. Dad and his folks are from here. I guess you could say I'm a Mississippi boy!!
-
I was born a Yankee. However, my family started out in Virginia when they came across the pond. They then settled in Tennessee and Kentucky for 3 or 4 generations before they packed up and move to the territories. We've been here abouts the Ks/ne line since the 1850's. I guess in the end I still ended up a Yankee, whether I had any say in the matter or not. Josh
-
Born and raised in Southeast Kentucky, right on the Tennessee border. My great grandfather's farmland is now part of Daniel Boone National Forest. Now live in Northeast Tennessee, but still blue blooded. Go Wildcats!!
-
Rick, I was born in Pensacola and my Mom's side of the family is all up in that part of Florida. Most of her German Great Aunts married into the Cheerokee Tribe.
-
Have lived in Georgia all my life. My parents and their parents have been from Georgia and Alabama, probably a bit past that.
-
My grandmother was born and raised in Corpus Christi and I live in Southern Canada, does that count? >:D >:D >:D

And don't forget where your dad is from.
Couldn't resist Eddie, being a Damned Yankee presently from Virginia and wintering south of the 10. The South will Rise again. Well not because I'm here. lol
Pappy ,
I just crusied through Clarksville. Wow how it has changed in the last 10 years.
The banks of the Cumberland were looking good for point finding.
I drove through 10 miles of stores three tiers deep going north out of downtown.
Zuma
PS this is why there are no Yankee gators
-
Yea, Don, forgot about him, Irish from Philly, well, a Dad for a year before he disappeared. Step Dad who raised me was from Florida, a Parker and a boat load of Cheerokee on his side of the family.
Bob, yea, I'm a Cracker, played with a lot of cows and Grandpa was a Rodeo rider back in the 30's.
-
I was born and raised in Pensacola to Eddie! Live over in East Milton now, Pensacola has turned into a ghetto,except the beach,they keep cops down there for the tourist :)
-
Paternal is North Dakota from about 1880's, Maternal is North Carolina from about the 1850's.
Me...a happy in between, Southern Indiana. Love me some country ham, though!! Stayed a spell in central Kentucky a few times in my younger years. Mostly a southcentral Indiana river rat though.

I'm a Yankee doodle dandy
A Yankee doodle do or die
Most folks are proud and will boast of where there from and wouldn't wanna live anywhere else on this earth,and its no different up here
Well this oughta stir the pot >:D ....a song sung by the union called "always stand on the union side" ..I'm glad we don't live in them times...
Always stand on the Union side,
And battle for the right.
With conscience clear, we'll laugh at fear
In the midst of the boldest fight.
Why turn against our native land,
The mother whom we love?
Who ever rules with gentle hand,
Till children recreant prove?
CHORUS:
Always stand on the Union side,
And battle for the right.
With conscience clear, we'll laugh at fear
In the midst of the boldest fight.
Always stand on the Union side,
And "keep your powder dry."
We'll soon rejoice both far and wide
To see secession die.
'Tis better in defense of truth,
To be both brave and bold,
Than side with traitors and at last
Be left out in the cold.
CHORUS
Always stand on the Union side,
'Tis better, as you see,
Heav'n will crown our gallant arms,
With Union victory!
If you would have your children learn,
To speak with holy pride,
Of this their dear beloved land!
Stand on the Union side!
-
Well,, that's a silly song. ::) ;) :)
-
Yep. ;)
Pappy

I've had family here in Northwest Alabama for a good long while. I have some family from Louisiana. I can't think of any family up north.
Roll Tide!

Marks I probably have a few up North but I try not to think about it. :-[ :laugh:

Well,, that's a silly song. ::) ;) :)

My Brother, and I were born in West Palm Beach, Florida. My Mother was from Headland, Alabama. My Grandfather,on her side, sure looked like he had some Indian in him, as did his Dad. My Father was born somewhere around Macon, or Eastman. He was never sure as to just where was born, as he was born at home, like his five Brothers, and two Sisters. But it was one of those places in Georgia. They moved when he was still quite young. His Grandmother was full Cherokee. Had ancestors in the War between the States. One was a Mason. Story goes, the Yankees, came to his house, and started ransacking what little possessions he had, and when the Lt. opened the blanket chest, he found a book of Free Masonry, and put it back, and ordered all the stuff taken, to be put back. He was a Mason also. They did take his old gun, but that was not a problem, because as soon as soon as the Yankees left, he went out to his forge, and set to making another one, just like he did the one the Yankees took.

Mom's family landed in Connecticut in the late 1600's, then they moved to Kentucky/Tennessee in the early 1700s. They moved to the Ozark Mountains in southern MO around 1800. Been there ever since. Dad's family...have not traced them back too far (into the 1850's) and they were in Southern MO too. I know that in the Battle of Pilot Knob, my mom's family was fighting for the Union inside the fort, and my dad's family was fighting with the Conferderates that were attacking the fort! I did not realize that until I was reading a geneology book about my dad's side of the family. I was told that we have Shawnee, Delaware, and Cherokee in our family bloodline.
Now, I am a west central Missourian...

We get to sit in our backyards up here in the frozen north, watch our hockey stars decimate the rest of the world, drink a decent brew of beer, and watch with great amusement the goings-on south of the border. Carry on my southern neighbours! 8)
-
Hey Adam, I think that big, ol', pretty, silver cup spent some time down here in the sunny South, too. You know, the one named after some Stanley guy. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)
-
Yah... but they're all Canadians (or maybe the odd Russian) who are doing the winning!! 8)
-
You are right adb,but they moved south for some reason. ??? You know it's funny,never meet you but somehow knew you was from up North. ;) :)
Pappy
-
Hey, Pappy, I think we have more Canadians down here where I live the they have in Canada. ;D We have some little, laid back country towns that the population triples this time of year.
-
Yep,they talk about us but for some reason a lot want to come down and disrupt things[I mean enjoy ] ;) ;D ;D ;D

-40 plus a windchill has a way of movin' people south.
-
I think I speak for most of the South when I say you can keep your hockey. I'd rather have my Football.
-
Hockey is a cool game if you watch it Live. It is confusing on TV if you don't understand the rules.

Yah... if you're a Yank! ;D ;D ;D Remember years back, when they had a purple glow around the puck on TV, so you guys could follow the game?? :o :o
Yah know, Eddie... if you ever get up this way again (Alberta's not far from here) we should sit down and discuss this further over a pint of Canadian beer!
-

Football is pretty small potatoes up here. Season is too short, there's only 8 teams, and a football is like a brick when it's -20. I agree... the only real NA football is the NFL. We gotta play somethin' over the 8 months of winter... I guess hockey is it.
-
I'm just messing. Hockey is alright. My brother goes and watched a local team where we live all the time.
I can do Hockey but Canadian football is just weird. I haven't been able to figure that sport out.
Canada's not too bad. You make good Ginger Ale and I like your geese but for crying out loud would you please take Justin Beiber back! haha.
-
NO! You guys can keep that a-hole! No way... we don't want him back. I can't believe he's even allowed in the USA anymore. Any of us pulled the shite he has, we'd be punted out so hard we'd still be bouncing. Somebody should give him a slap upside the head... hard.
CFL?... kinda the same. Bigger field, only 3 downs, uprights are at the front of the end zone, and a few other quirky rules... but basically the same. Not really my thing. Certainly not the hype (or money) generated by the NFL. Most of my friends watch NFL football. I actually used to be a pretty big Dallas Cowboys fan. Followed them for a few seasons in the 90s.

Patches, your ancestors, and mine must have known each other. My ancestors came from England, in the early 1600's, and supposedly were the first settlers in Connecticut. Supposed to be a Bible in one of the towns, with my Ancestors names in it. A relative did a Genealogy search, and went to England and did some research there. We came from a town called Wooten Under Edge. Pretty little town, and area. I have been there. But from Connecticut, my ancestors went to Texas, and then to Georgia, where they were literally dirt farmers. The will of the first ancestor Thomas, left a whole lot of land, and cattle, and horses, to his daughter, and just a little money, and land a cattle and horses to his son. Which shows what a scoundrel the son must have been. It was not done in those days, to leave anything but a dowry to the daughter. There is evidence of kimberlys being in England back to 1550, and even further, but the name is spelled differently, with an l-e-y, instead of the current ly, before 1550. The first Ancestor to come over, was Thomas, and was a captain of the Queens guard. I asked my Dad once, how our ancestors went from being very wealthy, to dirt farmers. He said Women, and Booze! Well, at least they didn't waste their money. ;) ::)

:o BUSCH,,BUSCH MERICAN BEER :)
-
Well Rick, I drink PBR, and Millers. But I do like the Canadian beers too. I give credit where credit is due. The Canadians make some fine beer. I like Carling Black Label also. I also like the Chinese beer, Tsing Tao, the Japanese beer, Kirin, and the Mexican beers, Dos Equi, and Tecate'. But not that Yuppie crap corona! I also like the German beers, and Italian beers. You and my neighbor would get along great. Busch is all he drinks. I don't care for Bud, or Busch. But if it is offered and that is all there is , then I will drink it. But I like PBR, and Miller. I like PBR, as it has a REAL beer flavor, with no bite, like Bud. My Girlfriend drinks Michelobe Ultra....... with ICE!! :P She drank some of my PBR once, and said she doesn't know how I can drink it, as it just too strong. Well when you drink a watered down beer, with more water, yeah, a "REAL" beer tastes a little strong! ::) I am having a PBR at the moment with a nice salad, of mixed greens, sweet onions, Greek olives stuffed with garlic, and Jalepinos, capers, Feta cheese, anchovies, avocado, Italian seasoning, basil, red wine vinegar, and coconut oil. Some times I will throw in some uncured cooked bacon, and a hard boiled egg, but didn't tonight. I was debating to have a nice chunk of sharp cheddar cheese, and a tin of anchovies, with another PBR, but I think I will hold off and enjoy that little treat tomorrow, as I have a nice hot cup of green tea, cooling as I eat my salad, and drink my PBR! As for American beer, I will take PBR over all the other beers I have tasted. Just my personal taste. But I do enjoy other beers also, especially if there isn't any PBR available. ;)

Way back in the late 60's early 70's there was a beer strike in B.C. The government(at the time all booze was gov't controlled) started bringing in beer from all over Canada and the U.S. One truckload came(I believe) from the southern states somewhere. It was Falstaff Beer. I really, really liked Falstaff. During the strike beer was rationed, you could only get 2 dozen a visit. We only had it for 2 weeks. Is it still available? Does anyone else drink it? Is it considered good beer/ I've been on the wagon for 25 years now but I'd sure be tempted by a cold Falstaff.
Don
-
Yeah, Don, it was once fairly popular down here, in Florida, and elsewhere I assume. I don't know if it is still being made or not, as I have not been looking for it. But now, I will see if it is still available. I will have to ask at the Total Wines store, and see if they have it or know if it is still available. I know I have drank it before, but I can't remember if it was real good or not. But back then I was not as particular as I am in my "Golden years" ::)
I also liked Schafers long necks. I have even drank Schlitz, and Rhinegold. ;) And liked them! ;) :) One thing the Government needs to figure out, is it isn't a good idea, to mess with the populace's beer! ;) Could bring things to a head...... ::)

Adam, I'll take Molson's Canadian, too. I've got my Sub-Zero Draught glass in the freezer.

When I was in college in Jenson Beach Fl.(1969-1971) I could walk from my dorm about a mile to a little fish camp and buy a 6pk of Falstaff for $.99 with money I made picking up beer bottles on the side of the road. ;D Oh, the good ole days!!!
-
Now your talkin :laugh:
-
Pat, I still have a Falstaff steel can you had to open with a Church key. Used to buy quarts of 90 cent Falstaff and Schlitz, same as you, aved the bottles and the old man that sold it to us wouldn't charge us the deposit if we promised to bring back the empties.

Born and raised Charleston SC...retired from military here and plan on dying here unless a wealthy benefactor gives me a few hundred acres of land in Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Iowa or even here in South Carolina (South Cackalacky)

How did It's all about the South turn into a Canadian Beer discussion? haha. I would participate but I don't partake. I do like the color of those blue Bud Light Platinum bottles so I'll just vote for that one.

Lol, The very first night I spent in Florida, maybe back in January of 1985, the news person said,
"The temperature is 72, with a wind chill of 71"
LMAO, Zuma
