Ahh I'm glad I am probably the only person on this board who can rightfully say they were born and raised in the good 'ol state of DELAWARE!

Living in Philadelphia, PA now though.

Pretty much everyone living on the West coast has a mobile history. My maternal Grandfather imagrated from Germany to Oregon in the mid 1890's so as a 2nd Generation Oregonian I am relativly rare. My fathers family moved to Oregon from Southern Colorado during the Dust Bowl era. It is coincidental that my wife has a similar history, her maternal grand parents were Germans from Russia, and her father was a Native American born in Oklahoma, who's family also moved to Oregon during the Dust Bowl.

My maternal grandmothers family was the interesting one. She was 1 of 15 kids of a Morman family. She was born in Arizona, with siblings born in Utah, Colorado and Montana. I remain amazed at how mobile this family was at a time (1880 - 1910) when moving from Arizona to Montana meant WALKING though some of the roughest terrain .

Best one so far :smile:

Born in BC, living in BC. For some reason I have this odd feeling I'm in the wrong thread.
