My family has been in America for an extremely long time now. My first ancestors came over from England on one of this ships after the Mayflower, so we've been here for a while. From that point on we split in all different directions and went all over the country. My dad grew up in Nebraska and my mom grew up in Kentucky. My parents then met at a party in their mid 30's, they obviously hit it off and had me. Since I've been born we've moved around a lot: we started in Denver, Colorado then moved to Highland park. From there we went to Texas then we rented a house in Northfield. The owner of the house continued living there but the house was huge so it was fine. Her son would visit periodically, and eventually we found out he had an addiction to cocaine. We immediately moved out of the house and into a hotel for 6 months. After that we found a home in Northfield where we currently reside.
I know absolutely nothing about my fathers family history, but my moms family has some interesting features. Her great uncle created the Roebling bridge in Kentucky, it was actually the first suspension bridge. For every person who crossed he got $0.01, he made a ridiculous amount of money. Then two kids came along and blew the entire fortune, so my mom grew up middle class. This whole incident set a precedent in my moms die of the family, take care of your money.
