The easiest way to explain things is that Baseball is a Spring and Summer sport, but football is a Fall and Winter sport. They really do not compete with each other.
And then there’s hockey from fall-spring that kind of bridges everything.
@@4ironblovksonepumokinheady845NBA has basically the same season (starts week or two later, ends a week or two later) and is much more popular than NHL. It makes sense that the game you mostly stand around waiting, while playing, is the one that endures the summer heat, though.
youtube search for : *_George Carlin Baseball vs Football_*
That makes a lot of sense! Ty.
Jinx !
Andre, you are an honorary American...we adopt you 1000%
Absolutely! We are a real mixture of all nations and we are all into where our ancestors came from! We welcome everyone because our ancestors all came from other countries. It is a tragic part of our History how the Native Americans were treated as well as black Americans but fortunately things are much more equal now.
I was about to say the same thng!
People will definitely ask where you are from because of your accent. It's a wonderful accent!
Chicken Fried Steak. Yes, you NEED this. It's steak cutlets that has been pounded and "tenderized", then dunked into a breaded batter and deep fried. Then served on a plate (usually covering nearly the entire plate) and smothered with cream gravy. When done right, you don't need a knife to cut the steak, it's tenderized enough to just cut it with the fork.
Don’t forget the mashed potatoes with the cream gravy!😋
I'm really surprised Lawrence hadn't heard of chicken fried steak before as he had lived in USA for years. It's everywhere.
@@robertsaunders9733chicken fried steak is more of a southern/south western type dish. After this video he did go out and finally try it.
Pecan pie... sugar coma served by the slice...
They're walking in a park in Chicago, where Lawrence lives
Congratulations to them not being shot
@@poopshoes7579 Idiot.
Not all of Chicago is that dangerous the most dangerous parts are mostly the south side but they are in the rich part I mean you haven’t heard about DePaul students getting killed that happens in Georgia
@@poopshoes7579you’ve never been there have you
@@poopshoes7579 you are a fool. Stop watching right wing propaganda.
Love that you lean into the Russian-English bit. Makes me laugh every time.
1st generation American here. My dad was from Glasgow, Scotland and my mom was from Toronto, Canada. I grew up in a small town outside Cleveland, Ohio and currently live in a small town in southern West Virginia. I've heard my fair share of accents! 😂😂
Oh hi! You’re pretty close to me! 😂
I've lived most of my life around Cleveland.
We just adore accents! When we ask for someone to say something in their accent it is because we love love love it!!! ❤
You'd be asked where you're from lol. The assumption would be European, which covers a lot of languages and accents. Most Americans never leave America so are only really exposed to Mexican Spanish. They'd know it wasn't Mexican accent lol.
Without the Scottish immigrants we would've never won the revolutionary war against England. They left their fields and families to fight every single time they were called to fight.
there are a lot of Puerto Rican Spanish, also Dominican
Hey, Andre, everybody, give Shawn's channel some love. The algorithm turned on him and his channel died unexpectedly, like overnight. He's a good guy, too.
Brits... Conquered the world for spices... use none in their food...
Lol
What a waste! 😂
So true! When I was visiting England I made my friends some fajitas and blew their minds.
Many English expressions come from the movie "The Wizard of Oz," too: 1. We're not in Kansas anymore. 2. Friend of Dorothy. 3. There's no place like home. 4. Lions and tigers and bears - oh my! 5. Toto, too? 6. Follow the yellow brick road. 7. Over the rainbow. And many more!
Run, Toto, run!
My heritage is a mix of Scottish, Irish, English, French and who knows what else (ancestral names include Daniel, DeLaigle, McNorrill...)...I'm just American.
There is lots of California north of San Francisco!
Actually yes Andre. My family comes from both Scotland and Ireland.
Edit: Also a tip. You don't pronounce the S on the end of Illinois. You got the rest of it correct though.
But don't worry, there are Americans who insist on pronouncing the "S".
My mother's maiden name is about as Scottish as you can get - McQuilkin.
Even saying the name with an American accent it still comes out sounding Scottish.
The best way to experience America is select a region. Choose a 7 day adventure(minus traveling time to get here) and SELECT A REGION. We are basically split up between 4-5 different 'areas' so to speak. Trying to experience all of America is just impossible unless you can spend a month+. I live by chicago and still learn something new every time I go there for example. The north east corridor, the panhandle, the deep south, all of these areas are so unique and different but each has something amazing about it. First decide what you really want to do. And focus your time on that area. It is like traveling from Portugal to kyiv if you try to experience it all I guess as a comparison.
Aberdeen, Washington is actually the small town where Kurt Cobain (specifically) and Nirvana originally came from, before quickly moving to Seattle to become part of the late 80’s-early 90’s “grunge” music scene.
My family tree is Scottish, Irish, English, French, German, Norwegian and Welsh. The closest ancestry is Welsh since that part of my family didn't immigrate to the U.S. until 1850.
When you pronounce _Illinois_ , the letter _s_ is silent, so it's pronounced more like _Ilinoy_ .
Yes, I imagine that some people will ask if you're from Russia.
I like some of the accents from Scotland and also Ireland quite a bit. I live in Alabama and have heard accents from people who moved to Alabama or were visiting from Ireland, Scotland, South Africa, Italy, India, Columbia, China, Germany and Poland (four Holocaust survivors).
When I was in my twenties, I worked in a hospital at the information desk and in the gift shop, so the huge majority of those people were hospital employees, office workers, medical staff, volunteers, and such. I loved talking to them and discussing cultures. A lot of them didn't know much or anything about black Americans and our various cultures and how they connected and blended with others. I loved giving my bit of knowledge from my experience as a young black woman.
The four elderly Holocaust survivors were so sweet. They were two married couples who met in a concentration camp, made a vow to survive, did, married and the four were always together. The two men showed me their tattooed numbers on their arms and asked if I knew what they were, and I did.
They were open to discussing some of what they endured, but told me there were things they wouldn't tell me because it would be too much for me to handle. I'm just listening, but they lived it. 😢
Their wives always wore long sleeves because they didn't want people asking questions about the tattoos as it was a hard for them to talk about those times. Understandable.
I liked hearing all four of their accents. Such sweet people who always took time to talk to me as they said I was "an old soul" and it was rare to find someone so young who were interested in their lives. 😢
I'm a third-generation American-Scott. My Great Grandparents, on my father's side, came over from Scotland in the early 1900s.
A “ball park figure” means : give me an estimate of the [cost, distance, length of time] of something. If my car needs some maintenance work, I would ask for an estimate. I don’t want something specific, but an educated guess of the cost-a ball park figure. When I take my 80th birthday road trip from Brownsville, Texas to Durango, Colorado, I will drive somewhere in the ball park of 400 miles each day.
Both baseball and football are very popular throughout the US. Football is generally more popular nationwide. Both the midwest and the south have prestigious professional and college football teams.
Ohio and Michigan are both Midwest states.
So the accent thing is a real phenomenon. When you're surrounded by a different accent you unintentionally tone it down but when you're around a similar accent it builds up. I used to work with a bunch of Jamaican men. When they got together during lunch their accent became so pronounced that I couldn't keep up.
Mark Twain famously said that the coldest winter he'd ever experienced was a summer in San Franciso
As a truck stop cashier we ask everyone where your from and where you plan to go. It determines how fast we can get you out, if you're in a hurry.
Fun fact there are more Irish people in America than ireland, and they have more detailed records of their history in Ireland especially regarding clans than Ireland itself....
LOL. I love how your face lights up when they talk about American food!
Azorean-British/Scottish here. Absolutely my favorite channel
I was at the hospital today and their special was chicken fried steak. Yes it is beef with white gravy. Yummy
11:28 _Chicken Fried Steak_ is beef "steak!" It's coated and fried just like fried chicken is. It's not the same cut of beef you would get at a steakhouse, but it's delicious. _Chicken Fried Chicken_ is basically the same thing but using chicken instead of beef.
Going back to what they say about place names, I live 15 miles from a town named Lisbon and about 10 miles from a town named Madrid pronounced Mad-rid
Yes I have heritage from multiple European countries but when it comes to Scottish I have a lot from my Father’s Mother’s line as her family were direct descendants of a Clan called Taylor that came to the U.S. about 3-4 generations before she was born. So from her line alone it is primarily Scott’s with some influence from Scandinavian Vikings and the French that end up in Scotland at some point before my direct ancestors left Scotland
My mother was born in Scotland. Her family emigrated to upstate New York in the 1920's. And my dad was from an old New England family but his mother was Scottish.
19:45 Many people, including a LOT of Midwesterners surrounding Illinois, will say "El A Noise" when it should be "El A Noy". I can remember back in the 1970s to the 1990s there was a state slogan to promote the state that I heard in TV ads that said "There's no Noise in Illinois". This referred to both the rural calmness of most of the state along with a reference to the common mispronunciation of the state's name. (I originally from the bordering state of Indiana.)
It will be a mixed bag some will guess Russia, Ukraine, etc some will guess a mix
Lake Michigan is next to these states: Illinois & Indiana & Michigan & Wisconsin....most people would probably assume Russian but would ask anyways....yes that's the redwoods in California....it took me 7 days to drive from Arizona to Washington State but that's with stopping for the night & staying two days in San Francisco....Mr H and Friends did a two part video touring the Alamo that you should react to....yes that's fair to say about baseball & football
Baseball and football are both popular. It is not by region. It’s national. It is divided by season but not region
Football, Baseball, and Basketball are all pretty much loved across the country, some areas also have hockey that is popular.
09:58 Franklin's in Austin, as in Texas, is known for the brisket. Aaron Franklin uses salt and pepper. Terry Black's may be something more, not sure, paprika maybe or also could be just salt and pepper.
(This was a large enough reply to -- which sports are popular by season -- that I decided to promote it to full-comment status.)
Basketball is king in Indiana. Its star has been tarnished by the ill-advised splitting of the single-class State Tournament into a multi-class format where schools of different sizes went into separate tournaments. While the split was supposedly to be "fair", many feel that it both relegated smaller schools into pretty-much ignored "lower" tournaments, and starved these schools of the money (normally evenly-split-regardless-of-size gate receipts) now going only to the large schools in the highly-attended large-school tournaments while adding to the small school's expenses by having the first couple of rounds (the Sectional [Section->Regional->Semistate->State rounds]) cover a larger area which incurred higher traveling expenses. This has eroded the importance of the famous "Hoosier Hysteria" of the past. (Mt. Vernon (Indiana) Senior High School, Class of 1981. Class size about 250.) While it was true that usually a small school was out in the first round there were often significant first and second round upsets that were an extreme source of pride for the small schools and their home communities.
One reason for basketball's importance is the extreme rural nature of early 1900's Indiana. Most of the population was spread out across countless tiny and often poor rural towns, each of which often had its own high school (sometimes even combining years into single classrooms because to the small number of students). Basketball was the only sport that was affordable for these poor schools, since to play the only equipment needed was uniforms and a basketball and the only facility needed was a wood-floored court with 10-foot-high baskets on either end. To practice on their own players needed only a plywood backboard and a basketball hoop nailed onto a light/electrical/telephone pole at a height of 10 feet.
Anyone interested in the roots of Indiana's obsession with basketball should check out the historically-based fictional movie "Hoosiers". It is a decent fictionalization.
====================================
Milan, Wikipedia:
The 1954 Milan High School Indians won the Indiana High School Boys Basketball Tournament championship in 1954.[1]
With an enrollment of only 161, Milan was the smallest school ever to win a single-class state basketball title in Indiana, beating the team from the much larger Muncie Central High School in a classic competition known as the Milan Miracle. The team and town are the inspiration for the 1986 film Hoosiers. The team finished its regular season 19-2 and sported a 28-2 overall record.[2][3]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoosiers, Wikipedia:
Hoosiers (released in some countries as Best Shot[3]) is a 1986 American sports drama film written by Angelo Pizzo and directed by David Anspaugh in his feature directorial debut. It tells the story of a small-town Indiana high school basketball team that enters the state championship. It is inspired in part by the Milan High School team who won the 1954 state championship.
Gene Hackman stars as Norman Dale, a new coach with a spotty past. The film co-stars Barbara Hershey and Dennis Hopper, whose role as the basketball-loving town drunk earned him an Oscar nomination. Jerry Goldsmith was also nominated for an Academy Award for his score. In 2001, Hoosiers was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant."[4][5]
------------------------------------------------------------------
Hoosier Hysteria, Wikipedia:
Hoosier hysteria is the state of excitement surrounding basketball in Indiana or, more specifically, the Indiana high school basketball tournament.[1][2] The most famous example occurred in 1954, when Milan (enrollment 161) defeated Muncie Central (enrollment over 1,600) to win the state title.
Indiana's passion for basketball was observed and written about by basketball's inventor, James Naismith. In 1925, Naismith visited an Indiana basketball state finals game along with 15,000 screaming fans. He later wrote that while it was invented in Massachusetts, "basketball really had its origin in Indiana, which remains the center of the sport." Hoosiers have a traditional love for basketball similar to that of Southerners or Ohioans for football, New Yorkers and New Englanders for baseball, Pennsylvanians and Iowans for wrestling, Michiganders and Minnesotans for ice hockey, and Washingtonians and Oregonians for soccer.
Baseball is popular everywhere in the States.
24% Scottish here. Chicken Fried steak is my favorite meal at a diner. It is beef. Some places do Chicken Fried Chicken but it isn't the same. It's the Gravy that makes it the best. Each state has state signs so you know when you have entered that state. For us to go to Seattle Washington it takes over 14 hours.
The original Texans held down the Alamo sacrificing themselves to allow Houston's army time to regroup. The Texas battle cry is REMEMBER THE ALAMO!!!!!
Chicken fried steak or country fried steak is common at diners, it’s like an American fried chebureki, but whole, not shredded meat. Usually served with brown or white gravy, a thick sauce.
I'm so glad you repeated that you were from Portugal. I almost didn't think I heard it the first time around. If you came here to the USA, I think most definitely you would be mistaken for Russian almost every single time. I probably watched about five videos now and I thought you were Russian 100% the whole time. Up until the moment I thought I heard you say something about a joke and Portugal LOL
Andres, where is your P.O. Box?! Ppl would send you a BBQ box with all of the seasonings you would need!…When you come to Texas, rent a small RV or travel trailer to live in to save $$. Come in October during the Texas State Fair, when the weather is pleasant. The UT vs. OU college football game brings more than 100K ppl. Or to see an AMAZING halftime show, you can go to the Grambling vs. PV college game. Both games take place during the State Fair of Texas. 🤠
Agree, I think the State Fair of Tx would blow his mind and make him fall in love with Tx more than he already has, haha🤣
Going to the TX/ou game would be interesting, not sure he would enjoy it though as I have learned most soccer fans, just don't enjoy American football.
I think he shoukd get a P.O. box and ask his subs to send him some American things to try like the other react groups do.
Another easy one. Is get a pork roast , cut up an onion put it in the bottom of crock pot put pork roast on top , add 2 cans of coke or Dr Pepper to the pork , salt and pepper it and cook it till it’s done . Then use 2 forks to shred it . That’s pulled pork . Serve it with sauce or as is , it’s amazing both ways .
Use the same kind of bread as Italian beef
California alone is bigger than the UK possibly even twice the size
My heritage is mostly from Scotland, Ireland, and England. A little bit of Dutch, Polish, Russian, German, among a few others, but the majority is from those three. My grandfather was a McNaughton and I've been doing more research to find out my ancestry on that side. I've even been studying a bit of Scottish Gaelic. Everything just feels so familiar and homey to me, and it has been since I was a young child when I was obsessed with Scotland. I'm trying to move to Scotland within the next couple of years. ❤
The city at the beginning of this video is Chicago, Illinois, and it is next to Lake Michigan, which is the water that you see in front of the city. the lake is huge and the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin are all part of of the borders of Lake Michigan. Lawrence lives in Chicago.
Sean is one of the few visitors from TH-cam that have made it to the West Coast states (LA doesn’t count). His trip along route 101, the Coast Highway and through the Redwoods and Sequoias that come right down to the sea in places. I don’t believe he got to San Francisco.
He drove from Washington state to Los Angeles. Then to Texas. He did go to San Francisco
I live in North Carolina and have been to the Scottish Highland games not far from my home.
As a Southerner, I rarely hear anything about baseball. The only people I know who follow it moved here from the Midwest or Northeast. Which is funny, because youth softball and Little League are still popular here. We do have minor league teams, and they draw decent crowds, but people tend to talk about going there once in a while because it’s a fun vibe, not because they care about the sport. But football is like a religion, and there are some pretty intense college basketball fans.
They are walking in Chicago, Illinois, located on the west shore of Lake Michigan. Also, I have Scots ancestry (and English), along with some Iberian -- although my ancestor was from Mallorca rather than Portugal.
I've been away from home and catching up all of your videos tonight! I think I binge watched 8 or 9 so far. Congrats on your new baby, that's so exciting! I really hope your get to bring your family here to visit some day! ❤❤🤍🤍💙💙
*_Chicken Fried Steak_*
a southern USA specialty best eaten in Texas or oklahoma. it is a beef steak that is usually tenderized by being pounded with a hammer, then coated with breading and (deep) fried in oil/tallow/Drippins, and then topped with a bechamel-based cream gravy.
when served at breakfast, it is typically accompanied by fried eggs, Grits, Biscuits, pancakes, and the like. for lunch/dinner it is normal for the side dishes to be things such as mashed potatoes (with extra gravy), corn, green beans/haricot vert, cooked greens or a salad, dinner rolls, etc.
Baseball and football are both popular all over the nation. Every state almost has a professional team.
The size of the United States shocks most Europeans, who think a 3 hour drive is a long trip. It's close to 50 hours of driving to cross the country. Portugal, even including its island possessions, is smaller than the state of Indiana, which isn't a particularly large state. Then there is Alaska, which would be the world's 16th largest country by itself.
CFS Chicken Fried Steak is one my all time favourite dishes.
Actually baseball is called “Americas favorite pass time”.Baseball is important when it’s baseball season in most cities that have a team. And when it’s football season everyone that loves football is excited about football. I guess many Europeans don’t get that we celebrate ALL of our sports. Because many Europeans don’t have but one sport to rally around you guys seem to find it confusing how we celebrate them all. Like you just did you guys try to narrow one sport down to one area of our country and another sport for another part of the country. When in reality as I said we celebrate all of our sport teams around our country.
Go watch the videos of showing in Charleston South Carolina and he really did a beautiful job and soon he's going to post his videos of his trip in Florida he went everywhere
You should react to more of Shaun's content. He has traveled quite a bit across the U.S. He also has many travel vids of Brazil as his wife is from there but they live in Scotland. I believe they spent the pandemic in Brazil though. These were the first content creators that I subscribed to many years ago. I love Shaun because he eats in more restaurants than fast food joints. He likes to eat all the local cuisines, etc.
That is Chicago, IL. Lake Michigan is huge all the Great Lakes are.
Lost in the Pond does episode were he tries Chicken fried steak.
I have studied Russian, so I knew you weren't Russian. But I did think you were from Eastern Europe; the Portuguese accent is very rare in this country. But I am certain you will be asked to speak in your accent when you visit, so perhaps prepare a few phrases so you don't get caught off-guard (as my Londoner husband frequently was)
The free zoo is Lincoln Park Zoo. As a child, my dad had a boat in Diversey Harbor, which is only a few blocks away, so I spent many days wandering around there with my sister. Even then they had some amazing exhibits, and as I understand, they've always improved. What I didn't understand then was their "Farm in the Zoo" which housed common barnyard and backyard animals (like raccoons) - then I married a city boy and realized what I took for granted, most city kids had only encountered in books.
I agree with your assessment of baseball in the Midwest and American football in the south - a midwesterner lol
Baseball, Football, Hockey, and Basketball are more or less nationwide.
I'm 25% Norwegien, and 25% Native American and the rest is Scotch, Irish, English, Swedish. My maternal grandfather was Scottish and black Irish.
They are in Chicago.
The Vikings bestowed upon themselves the title of the ‘dark invaders’ or ‘black foreigners’. The origin of Black Irish had to do with their intentions to subjugate the natives.
Baseball and football are both popular they don’t overlap , they are seasons .
Baseball ends in October but by then it’s down to two teams . Play offs widdle teams down to the top team .
Chicken fried steak is a hamburger patty, battered with a chicken/ milk gravy
oh you 100% will hear comments and questions about your accent. we do that even to other americans sometimes (especially those with very thick southern accents).
From Kentucky, a lot of people here have Scottish ancestry. My ancestry is by far mostly Scots-Irish, Irish and Scottish. I have some other things mixed in of course, but those are the majority. And the culture of my family has been heavily influenced by those roots for sure.
Those trees were in California, most likely in Redwood National Park, as they are redwood trees. The species is the tallest trees in the world. While they get quite old they are not he oldest, which are the Bristlecone Pines, which exist in Nevada and California at high elevations.
To give you an idea about driving through Texas. If you go through Texas at it's widest points from East to West it will take you a day & a half. I know as I've had to do it several times. Other states you may get through rapidly because they're so small, others it will take 8-12 hours depending on traffic. You hit Texas and the feeling of "are we there yet" really hits hard when you want to get to the next state's border. :-)
Also, there are some very beautiful areas in the Midwest that people never mention because they never go there. Visitors always hit the really big cities like NYC, Chicago, L.A., Miami, etc. Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Kentucky & Tennessee (yes I know they're in the South), etc. So much to see here if your into natural land beauty because of both the National & State parks and also some very nice cities.
Seattle is similar, as to weather and people's temperament, but Portland has generally been considered the most European of American cities over the last half century or so. We catch a lot of hell for that, actually. I would suggest that Vancouver, BC, Canada would feel even more European, though.
I attended a church here in Ohio that the pastor was from Ohio but his wife was from Texas. As they were getting ready to leave home one morning to visit a church in another city in Ohio, she asked if they would get there that day. You can go from one corner of Ohio to the other in a day easily, compared to Texas where it can take two days or more to cross the state.
I have an online friend from Almancil, Portugal, and the pictures he sent me are very beautiful. The area reminds me of our coastline from South Carolina to Florida.
I do hope you get the opportunity of coming here and spending some time exploring the different areas. If you want to go to Chicago and Texas in the same trip, springtime would be best. Chicago has very cold winters, and Texas is hot all summer.
You are correct on the football/baseball regional fandom
My great grandparents came from Scotland to the US
André you MUST try chicken fried steak!!!
I would say Football and Baseball are equally popular everywhere -- not just in the South or in the mid-west.
Football is very popular all over America, as is baseball. All states included..
When you say BBQ were you planning to make a brisket? Just so you know here in Central Texas it is common to only use salt and pepper as seasoning when smoking a brisket. It is also common to use other stuff but don't think you have to have something special to get something authentic.
4:12 Andre just made every Chicagoan watching cringe. Lol! People from Chicago are abnormally proud of the city. To be fair, it's very pretty as far as big cities go. Andre, most of the pictures at the beginning are from Chicago. That is where Lawrence lives.
I like your accent and wouldn't have recognized it as you being from Portugal. You'll definitely be asked where you are from.
I am asked that almost daily and I am from the USA. I moved to the Smoky Mountains area 20 years ago after being born and raised in the Pacific Northwest.
Even I had a culture shock because the Southern culture is so much different than where I grew up. The food, language differences, architecture, and especially the historical atmosphere. There are civil war echoes everywhere here.
I still get asked where I am from because of my accent. But the funny thing is that when I talk to old friends in my birth state, they all tell me I sound Southern now. I have become a mutt ..my accent doesn't match anywhere anymore.😂
Not a mutt, a mixed bouquet!
@@user-calm_salty How did you guess what my name is about? Not just accents, everything. We pick up new things as we go through life. Some nice, some not so nice. But put it all together and it becomes a pretty mixed bouquet, weeds and all. 🙂 I also lived in two more states before landing here. Each area has been different from the last (especially Arizona) but it wasn't until I made it here that I strongly felt a shift in culture and drastic accent changes. It took a good 10 years for me to be able to tell the different Southern accents apart. They all sounded the same until I lived here a while.
I just found these reaction channels and am enjoying them very much. He's become my favorite one to watch and I can't wait to see what else he discovers.
American with Scottish heritage here. There are many of us due to early immigration patterns.
I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and it's a beautiful place. There are a lot of mountains on the western side that I'm at XD.
11. go for it, Andre 😎
No, this is Chicago, Illinois which is located on Lake Michigan which is one of the five Great Lakes.
Chicken Fried Steak…..the best ❤
I moved from new york to pennsylvania. 2 states away and people kept asking about my new york accent. 😅
This was the best one ever, Andre! I had just watched Shaun video, he says that he's creating another UT channel or two. I noticed that you have two channels. No wonder I thought that UT unsub'ed me, it was just a different channel. You are my favorite, even though you sound like 'Boris" from the Rocky and Bulwinkle cartoon. ha ha hee hee!!
Yes, my ancestry is English and Scottish. I hope to visit Scotland some day.
lancaster, PA: largest concentration of amish in the country.
My mom family is from St. Michael's in Portugal.we're looking up our family ancestry.
I've been to San Antonio and Port Arthur was very ill u won't find nicer more helpful people anywhere! Also drove through a few other texas locations but will always cherish the texas hospitality!
That is Chicago Illinois on lake Michigan.
The state of Michigan is on the other (east) side of the lake. Chicago is in Illinois, on the southwest side of the lake. Wisconsin also borders Lake Michigan, on the northwest side, and Indiana has a bit of shore on the southeast side. (It's a fairly substantial lake. More than half the size of Portugal.)
My mom's side of the family has a small amount of Scottish ancestry, a few generations back. (There was a man named Kim Estes, in the nineteenth century IIRC.) Come to think of it, my maternal grandmother's maiden name, McCready, could also be of ultimately Scottish origin, but I don't think that line has been traced all the way back to immigration, so we don't really know the details.
