In pennsylvania you could throw up a german flag in so many towns, a lot of them speak german.

 

I remember that. the show ran it's course once he left High School.

 

yeah in the philly city limits, a lot are Irish!

Once you go west towards Pittsburgh, yes, a lot of Germans.

 

we rock! About time Ireland won something!

 

I think that after your family has been here over 100 years it becomes harder to keep track, ethnicities get too mixed up to keep count.

 

My great-granfather arrived in the US at ellis island in 1909. He worked real hard and saved for 11 years. He returned back to italy in 1920 and made some big land purchases. My uncle right now is in the process of selling that land he bought in 1920. We will be coming into some money soon.

Thank-you USA! *DRINK*

 

skinny-thanks to that book, we can trace my Mom's family back over 100 yrs and my sister somehow found a family chart of my Dad's family too. It was in some broken down house of all things sitting in a corner. i don't get how that's possible and how it wasn't ruined in the winters of Newfoundland, but she has it and is going to trace us back as far as possible. The book and the chart she found will make it possible.

 

screw that. buy it from him cheap and build your villa in Tuscany !

that land must be worth a ton !! George Clooney actually has a villa in Tuscany and it wasn't easy to build or get the land!

 

Tuscuny? Yeah right, you can't buy land there, it's been getting passed down for the last 500 years. This is land in a mountainous region, the land is good for it's trees and quartz.

 

To put it into perspective, we own baltic, tuscany is park place.

 

bwhahahaha-fantastic.

well clooney had pull then!

 

Exactly, you fkn kidding me, clooney could be on the outskirts, we don't know. There's ways the owners could lease it to him, but he never owns it.

The most I could do with this land is open a bed and breakfast for tourists, I aint spending the rest of my life cracking eggs and making beds.

 

skinny-wtf kind of land is it? what it is a big rock pile where billy goats hang out? a b&b that's all? get some pix man. i want a second opinion.

as for clooney...

he owns one on lake como and just bought another one...

Billy goats, that's about it, my grandfather used to herd sheep there. It's a beautiful landscape, and attracts tourists for the 13th century monastery. There's a few B&B places in those mountains.
This land was a curse for my grandfather, such a bright and educated man, had to work these fields because he didn't want to let down his dad(great-grandfather). He spent 30 years of his life trying to become an american by joining his sister in new york. He finally got accepted in '54, he couldn't make the voyage because of his failing health and died five years later.
It's true that before 1924, there were 200k italians coming into the US every year. The policy changed in '24 where they only allowed 4k a year, because they said that italians didn't represent real american values.

I've been to florence, it's beautiful, I met a nice girl from chicago there, she was an exchange student.

 

^^^ And I bet you did some exchanging with her! hahahahaha

Founded by a german saint in the 1000's, this is where our land is.

 

^^^ wow very nice and scenic. i've never been out of the country bf so the only scenic land i've seen is upstate Pa in the fall. the leaves change colors and it's really nice. your place beats that by a mile or 2.

Shaq was joking about the world being flat. ok good. 1 less idiot out there. Kyrie Irving, where are you ?

 

It's funny you say that, when I was drving through Penn on my way to new york, I had the same impression. The landscape reminded me a bit like italy. A lot of people from those parts settled in penn 100 years ago.

 

This monastery has been around 1000 years. The monks in there don't speak, they come out once a week and pass flowers and prayers to passerbys. They spend their days making charteous liquor, there's also one in france. Rumours years ago had it that the pilot that dropped the atom bomb was in there as a way to ask god for forgiveness. This was debunked and it ended up being a korean war vet.
