Born in southwestern Pennsylvania, I greatly enjoy exploring the roots of my many Italian ancestors on my mother's side of the family, and on my father's side from Germany (the border area between East Prussia and West Prussia, now part of Poland), from Ireland (also with a Scottish birth to Irish-born ancestors), and from England, in addition to discovering more about my many ancestors and relatives who were later born here in the United States of America.
