What is Your Heritage?

What is your heritage? From what people are you descended? Where has your family lived? I think that family history is very interesting and I think that it gives a person pride in knowing what their people did and where they came from. My family is a great mixture of peoples but I think that the greatest part of my family line comes from England. As far as I know all my father's family is English, all the names sound very English and that is what my dad said when I asked him. :) My mom's family is descended from many different lines. My maternal grandfather's father was Irish, his mother I believe was English. My Maternal grandmother is Scottish, English, and German. I think that it's interesting to think back on what each particular race has accomplished. When I think of the English I think of the great writers like William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Howard Pyle, Jane Austen, Mark Twain, Daniel Defoe, and John Bunyan. When I think of the Scottish I think of Sir William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and that great writer, Sir Walter Scott, and the heroic Scottish Christian conventers like Margret Wilson. When I think of the Irish I think of Saint Patrick, and also a man I've been learning about in school, Saint Brenden. When I think of the Germans I think of the great composers such as Beethoven and Handel. It is so interesting to see where your family line has come from. So summing it up, I guess the people of my line have been writers, warriors, missionaries, and composers. Hmmm.....interesting. Please leave me a comment on what family line you are from. I love history and it's interesting to see what people your ancestors were. What country is your family from? I believe every individual needs to understand their family history. It makes a person feel proud of what their ancestors have accomplished. What do you think? And by the way if you come across my blog pleeaasse comment!:D
Many Blessings,
