My mom came to the U.S. very young, and then she married very young. But she was never American. She was always Scottish and would make sure that I knew that I was, too.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My parents are British but they emigrated to America, where I was born.
My mother's background was Scottish. She came from an old family, some of whom lived in upper New York State and some of whom had come over from Scotland.
My mother was an immigrant from Lebanon to the United States. She came when she was 18 years old in 1920.
My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.
I come from an immigrant family, but I know no other nationality apart from British.
My parents were French and Irish and our family even has Spanish blood-and I do so love the United States and consider myself part American.
I'm a first generation American. My mother is Italian and Russian and a lot of other things, and my father is Uruguayan. In fact, my mother's been married twice, and both men were Uruguayan. So I grew up in a very European/Latin American-influenced home.
I married an American. He was from the Pacific Northwest but went to law school in the South, so I was living in Virginia and North Carolina.
My mother is Ukrainian. She immigrated to the U.S. from Canada as a child.
My mum's parents were from Ireland, my dad's mum was American-Irish.
