What country are you in/from?
Where do you have family?
I'm from London, in London.. ('The old country').
My mother's cousin I've met is Australian, she calls my Nan 'Aunt'.. I've met her daughter who's the same generation as me but as old as my niece (Born in America), she has a baby brother in Australia I've yet to meet and her mother my mother's cousin has a sister who was born in London but moved to Australia when she was 1 and her mother, my grandmother's sister and their mother, my great great grandmother who used to send me over things for my birthday when I was a child.. All moved to Australia.
They all went, and my Grandmother and mother 'then a child' stayed in London.
All but my great great grandmother are on Facebook.
They went to Queensland; to Caloundra, Queensland (An hour out of Brisbane) up north in the semi tropics... My mother's cousin who I've met was born in Australia, in New South Wales in Sydney, later she moved to Melbourne, in Victoria and had a family with a man who's family lives in Tasmania and raised him there.
My own brother 9 years my senior; same parents/same house/same family; my family... Moved to Delaware working in Pennsylvania then to Pennsylvania to be closer to work and now he's an American with a family of his own (I've not met my niece and nephew yet).. I went to their wedding in Pennsylvania with our brother 2 years my senior when I was 17 and stayed with the Bride and Groom anyway) was followed by my own sister 10 years my senior; same parents/same house/same family; my family... Moved to Pennsylvania then to New Jersey closer to her husband's family and she works of course and is now an American with an American family in New Jersey who I have met.
My brother and sister were born in London too.
My sister-in-law was born and raised in Pennsylvania (Abington) and my brother-in-law was born in Massachusetts (Cape Cod), raised in Florida (near Jacksonville) and moved to New Jersey (Tom's River) in high school.
My grandmothers cousin is also from London...
I've met her, she's great, they're all great, my family's cool, I'm blessed that way... She's now in Ireland and has a big family of her own.
She had a family in Oxford in England, then moved to Wales and then moved to Ireland (Republic of Ireland)..
I've met one of her daughters who wound up in Wales; Working for the Uni in Aberystwyth living close by.
They also live all over the world, but I've only met her, her mother (my grandmothers cousin), and her Father who my grandmother's cousin married; an Irishman she met in London.
My grandmother's cousin and her husband lived in Africa for a while doing charity work with The Red Cross.
My first memory of meeting her was when she just came back and looked Indian... She had brown/olive skin and long dark black hair and an orange dress and was tall (taller than me anyway).
Gosh I was young.
I'm living with this Grandmother, just me and my Nan in this house her father left her in London.
He was born in London, he was my Grandmother's mother's brother who adopted her from my great grandmother and raised her as his own so my grandmother had 4 parents but was raised by 2, she was adopted by family so her father was really her uncle; This man, was born in London, emigrated to Canada when he was 14.
He came back with the Canadians in WWI. Met his wife in London, and came back and adopted my Nan from his sister who later moved to Australia; He never lost his Canadian accent according to my grandmother who talks about him.
What about you?
