We also have ancestors who were a part of the Acadian Expulsion. But, no hard feelings to England and still would love to visit.

I can't say I relate much to either culture, but I have spent a lot of time around both sides of the family. If I had to pick, I'd like to go back to Trinidad and spend some time there, because I was a very small child the only time I went and I don't remember much.Jasmine Walthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01802723505443235517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4282612866471682237.post-51593459995991452502012-04-05T11:30:20.868-06:002012-04-05T11:30:20.868-06:00Most of my ancestors are from England or Wales.
