Quite a few Russian Mennonites emigrated to Canada, it seems. My grandparents have several Canadian friends that are Russian descendents and have Mennonite surnames.
My dad's side of the family is easily traced back to the island of Terceira in the Azores, off the coast of Portugal. I'm fourth generation -- but only half. The other half is more intact: I can trace my grandfather all the way back to the 10th century, when my oldest recorded relative was kicked out of Norway for disobeying the King, in the Viking age -- and yes, I'm being serious. My great-great-aunt and uncle did research and commissioned a book of our Geneology to be published for all the Parshalls in the US. My grandmother is apparently related to Davy Crockett through my great-grandfather.
We have a lot of geneology-lovers in our family.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
