What part of the boot is your family from?

My Great-Grand-parents are from Sicily and Vincenza.

Also, not to brag or anything, but my mom's spaghetti sauce is better than your mom's. :+

1. I'm half Italian on my

father's side. On my mother's side, Dutch and English, so I don't look very italian (blond, blue eyed, fair skin) My grandfather was from Sicily and Grandmother from Calabria. She made the BEST tomato sauce, but mine's not bad either.

They made everything from scratch, w/ vegetables fresh out of the garden. Did your family have a grape vine?

3. I'm the same way

light features. I look more german than I do italian.

2. Right here

Family came over from Naples in the late 1910s I believe.

I wish my mom's side of the family were italian also. She's actually of german descent originally i think and her spaghetti sauce is store bought!

4. Not one of my ethniciites

I don't think so anyway. You never know though. My husband and I were having a discussion about that and he asked what all I was. I listed some and then said:"I really could be anything, really, but probably not Chinese." All my families have been in the U.S. since the Civil War with some coming as early as the 1500's, not to mention my Native American ancestry.

5. Married into la familia...

my husband's grandparents were from Valledolmo, Sicilia.

We traveled to Valledolmo a few years ago to see the old family town. It was an incredible experience.

6. My Great-Grandfather was a stowaway at 7(no typo) from Trabia, Sicily.

Became cabin-boy to the ship's Captain/Owner and eventually bought the ship from him. That's way back but it's good blood!:)

7. Cosenza - on the lower part of the boot (I think)

My wife was born in Calabria (sp?). Plus she is Canadian so I guess she is technically Italian-Canadian, is that OK? (wink)

9. I'm glad my grand-father didn't live to see 'The Sopranos'

That show would've ticked him right off, the mafia stereotype always got him going.

I like 'The Sopranos' :evilgrin:
