3. The fact that people can come here without a star helps, too

I lost my star at the old DU for about 18 months and couldn't get into any of my favorite groups. It's nice that others get the chance to participate, as well.

Where's your family from? How far back have you gotten?

It turns out that I'm a complete mutt... but mostly German/English. My mother's paternal line came over to American in 1732 to PA (Kerbaugh/Carbaugh from Germany). My mother's maternal line has been traced back to 1713 in Virginia (Neel from England). My father's paternal line came over in the early-mid 1700's (Huffman/Hoffman probably from Germany) and moved around so much that it's hard to keep track of them or trace them. And my father's maternal line has been traced back to CT in the 1630 (Waterhouse from (probably) England).
