A1: I have! As a surprise for my Grandparent's 50th anniversary I did a 100 page scrapbook, and worked to trace our lines. I was able to gift my grandmother with history she never had before thanks to https://t.co/0eywVoDg3a #culturetrav

I would if I didn't have to pay for it. So, no. I mostly know there's interesting stuff there from mentions of things, but by the time this stuff got to me, all my grandparents who'd tell me that shit were dead. So. #culturetrav Either way it would be largely local tho. https://t.co/qHWV1SFXtd

A1: I have considered it many times, but not with too much determination. Living in a former colony such as South Africa with so much cultural diversity it should be interesting. #culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O He wants to find out more about his family involvement in the world wars because he has a lot of family that were in the Navy and RAF, but I'm more interested in the history and ancestry stuff than he tends to be #culturetrav

A2: Pretty certain. Ancestry results confirmed research results (based on surname origins as well as census records). #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O A1...I've used Ancestry, but thankfully, I still have one living grandparent at 97 years young (!), and an uncle (now deceased) who were a wealth of knowledge. #culturetrav

A2: I knew I was Swedish and Norwegian, but thanks to the help of a stranger-circa-distant-relative also on the site, I was able to learn exactly what town my ancestor came from, foods, traditions, clothes....it was unreal! #culturetrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O @brianmayroam Yep! And it turned out my great-grandfather changed his last name when he came to America, which was so crazy to me that my last name isn't the real one. #CultureTrav

replying to @hijinksandhalos @hijinksandhalos @Nicolette_O I started my research when I was in 8th grade with a required project. Luckily my grandfather had a lot of info I could learn from him then when he was still alive. #CultureTrav

replying to @RyanTravelsEats @RyanTravelsEats @Nicolette_O @brianmayroam Oh yea, mine too. Makes it tougher to trace. We had a bunch of name changes #CultureTrav

replying to @Nicolette_O @Nicolette_O Pretty accurate! Although a few surprises. I knew I was Italian, Sicilian, and German. However, found out also Greek (I believe 15-20%) and the German part has a little Polish in it too. #culturetrav
