Where is our family from?
my dad's side is all Irish. My Papa, which is short for grandpa, was 100% Irish. I am only like 50% Irish my dad says maybe even a little less. While, my mom side is fully Hungarian mostly. Nagymama is Hungarian for grandma same with Nagypapa, that's short for grandpa.
Did Nagymama come over from Hungary through Ellis Island or illegally?
Nagymama came over illegally with Nagypapa. She actually told my Mom that she had to hide and ride in the back of a truck for about two days! Nagyemama also included that it was one of the most frightful times of her life.
How many traditions do we have in our family?
My mom told me that we don't really have any traditions. My family has a couple good recipes for food passed down but there's nothing else really.
Where does most of our family live?
Most of our family live in Illinois. My Nana and Papa (Dad's side) use to live in Florida but they came to live with us in Illinois.
My Nagymama used to live in Hungary with her parents but moved to Illinois with her husband.
