Showing Original Post only (View all)So, my maternal grandparents immigrated from the Ukraine [View all]
and my paternal grandparents immigrated from Sicily.
Both my father and mother were first generation born American citizens. (That, in itself, I find mind-numbing.)

I would love to know about your beginnings!
