My Mom's side came to the U.S in the late 50's. My grandparents landed in Canada(grandmother) and Missouri (grandfather). My grandfather then married my grandmother Liberty in St. Louis Missouri. Soon after my mom was born. Dad's side were both born in Rhodes, Greece and immigrated to Australia in the 50's also. That's were my dad was then born.
I have strong family ties in Canada, Missouri, Greece, and Australia. I've visited all these places and it makes me proud of my heritage. Being !00% Greek makes me very proud my parents made me fluent in the language. Rhodes, Greece is somewhere my family and i try to visit every summer so we can stay in touch with the family.
