They came through Ellis Island. They were indentured servants until they worked their way out of that and eventually bought their own farm in rural Western Illinois. crickle1969https://www.blogger.com/profile/16326022777144474686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-69418333756061955682013-04-02T15:16:18.193-06:002013-04-02T15:16:18.193-06:00Very interesting post, Tina.

I can't wait to see what yours will bring. :)<br /><br />Personally, I've lived in America all my life, but I've moved a lot over the years. I went from Pennsylvania Dutch country down to Oklahoma which is a culture shock in its own right. The over to Arkansas, North Carolina and now back in Oklahoma where I lived my youth.

I was nine years old.<br /><br />Since then I've become multicultural in my own way. My mother was born in Switzerland, my father in West Virginia. I spent 6 months as an au pair in Switzerland, where I had to take German. Some of my best experiences included going to movies in French and Italian with a Norwegian friend. Oh, and I took Russian while I was there. <br /><br />Looking forward to more of your adventures!LuAnn @ BackPorchervationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01775630749079885915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-9832562488103798292013-04-01T18:34:57.914-06:002013-04-01T18:34:57.914-06:00I have an ex-sister-in-law who migrated from Holla...I have an ex-sister-in-law who migrated from Holland to marry my brother.

I've always been interested in a transplant in any which direction, and how it works. Maybe because I was almost a transplant to England twice as a kid, and because it is always a possibility due to hubby's job. It's always sort of up in the air, and part of me craves that change, while the other part wants to stay here in Colorado forever.<br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a>Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8914384080646206545.post-16172779859133741552013-04-01T16:53:54.085-06:002013-04-01T16:53:54.085-06:00Hey Tina,
