i'm from australia, only my third-degree separated ancestors are from other places, namely indonesia, netherlands, germany

i was told by a dude in prison that there is people with my family name in the city of Bonn,  so i guess probably also some in Dortmund and Essen and Koln... my opa grew up in Apeldoorn, which is nearby

my dutch relatives are all crazy and my mother's side of the family traces back to convicts and i hate the british isles, and ireland, with a passion, have spent 2 years too many there

i'm one of those people whose roots have been torn several times over and that is probably typical for this "nomad" type you talk about

evil has stolen from us a sense of roots and a place
