I don't know how interesting it is but here we go...
I am German on my Mom's side. The family came to America in the mid-1800's. I think it was my great great great Grandfather ( might be missing a great in there ) worked in a factory and developed problems with his lungs so they moved to the country and became farmers. Apparently my great great grandfather was a bastard. My grandmother used to tell a story about when his wife had a baby and he still made her get up and make him dinner. He ate first then everyone else.
I am French Canadian on my Dad's side. Around 1900 my Great grandfather came into the country. Some of my family's last name is Bernier and mine is Barney so when they came to America there must have been a change made.
Also I was a thumb-sucker until my late 30's
