Gah! I have a boring heritage. My parents got married and had all their children together, i.e. no divorce, no out of wedlock kids, they lived together their entire married lives. All 4 of my grandparents got married and had all their children together (no "broken families", all aunts/uncles had same mom and dad), no known out of wedlock kids. All 4 grandparents came from eastern europe (polish on one side, Russian on other). All 4 grandparents came to america nearish 1900-1910 or so-ish, when they were older teens or early 20's or so in age. All married in the USA. I always thought my background was "normal", yet now I realize that while I had the cultural "normal" family it was nowhere near the norm!
