Australia

Paternal ancestral side were transported to the new world from Ireland after being convicted of stealing tobacco from the English.

Maternal ancestral side escaped France in order to retain there heads on their shoulders during the revolution.

Several generations later I turn up and currently enjoy living in the harbour city of Sydney.

Thanos-GR. I lived for many years on Mykonos. I was married to Dr. George Giovanis. Rena his widow is still there and also her two daughters. I'm sure we know many of the same people. I haven't been back since 1996.

Thanos-GR, It might be confusing. Dr. G. and I were divorced before he married Rena. I call her my widow-in-law. Joan

I hail from Colorado in the good old US of A, but have lived the past 10 years overseas - Saudi Arabia, then Kuwait, now Indonesia.

Who knows what lies ahead...

In my next life I want to come back as Schuler.
