3. I sometimes get very animated while conversing

and my hands are waving and moving. And people are watching my hands maneuver all over the place. It doesn't happen all the time but sometimes I get embarrassed about it.


I don't believe that I'm Italian. My maternal Mayflower ancestor is George Soule. It's all up in the air and no one can determine if his country of origin is England or the Netherlands.




Most of my ancestors are Western European. I have a few that were Indigenous Mashpee Wampanoag, they were the ones that greeted and befriended the 102 Mayflower passengers.

There's quite a bit of what I call "mutt" in my lineage.

Good morning, Lucky. Thank you, I hope that you're having a nice day as well!
