Father: 100% Sicilian, first generation American
Mother: English, Irish, Scottish, German, French, Dutch, Black Foot.. her family traces back to the Lewis & Clark expedition. An ancestor was accused of murder and had a choice of going to prison or going on the expedition. They didn't think anybody on the expedition would live, so it was like choosing the death penalty. He married a Black Foot while exploring. That's the most interesting thing in my family.
I relate primarily to the Italian culture because it was so strong. My mother's family was too "heinz 57" to maintain any cultural traditions.
