Your roots

[AUDeltaGam]

Mom's Side: my great-grandparents immigrated to the US from Palestine (now Israel). My great grandfather Jacob came first, and ended up settling in Montgomery, AL, where he changed his name to Jake. My great grandmother followed, and my maw-maw and her brothers were born here. Also on this side, I believe I have some ancestors from Turkey, Italy and Spain (thought this part, I belive, goes pretty far back).

Dad's side: I don't know as much about, but I know the main nationality on this side is Scottish, with a bit of Swiss thrown in. One of my ancestors, my great (insert a few greats here)-father, on this side is Charles Pinckney, a signer of the US Constitution and a former Governor of South Carolina. I was actually in Charleston this summer and saw his grave, and I took a picture of the historical marker by it.
