I can't trace my roots back far at all.
On my mother's side of the family:
All Swedish. My mother was born in Sweden, and I spent a few years of my childhood in Sweden before moving back to the United States. My mother's parents died when she was 11 years old. She never knew her father's side of the family, and her mother was raised by her older brothers because HER parents died when she was young.
On my father's side of the family:
My father was Dutch. He always made a lot of claims of who we were related to, but I'm not sure any of it was true or not. I never dug into it too much.
