I live in Kitchener BC, was Born in Edmonton, raised in Calgary. My grandparents on both sides were from the Ukraine and Poland. They were farmers, but my grandpa on my mom's side, (gido) owned a merchantile store in Lamont. Grandpa on my dad's side was a carpenter. They moved to Saskatchewan then to Alberta, which was where my parents met, fell in love, got married then made me.

The end.

Born and raised in Halifax, N.S Now living in Edmonton. both parents were raised mainly in the Maritimes and primarily in Nova Scotia.
My grand father on my dads side is Irish, my grandmother English/Welsh i believe, my grandmother and grandfather on my moms side are Scottish and I know my grandfather grew up in Quebec.

Grandfather on my moms side was a construction foreman, grandmother was a stay at home mom . Grandfather on my dads side was a Military Chef there for my dads side of the family did live in many different places including germany for a while and many different Canadian locations, but as i said before mainly in the maritimes......

I was adopted at the young age of 2 weeks by a wonderful couple from Idaho. Been here ever since. My Grandfather lived in St. Anthony and was the mayor of the small town for several years and when he died they named a park after him (Clyde Keefer Park). He had a brother that lived on an island in the Snake River where it runs through Idaho Falls and that is now called Keefer's Island and his cabin still stands on the island.
