16. Mine were Mennonite farmers in western Germany, on my father's side

Edited on Wed Nov-26-08 12:33 PM by slackmaster

They got kicked out by Catholics, then moved to Prussia and got kicked out by someone, then to Russia where they got kicked out by Katherine the Great.

In all these threads about how the Native Americans were oppressed by Europeans, nobody ever mentions the people who preceded those Native Americans and were kicked out or killed off by them.

Eurpoean expatriate guilt can lead to a very slippery slope, if you take the time to think about it.
