I don't have much to go on. My grandparents are all from small villages/towns in Latvia. My dad believes that we have an ancestor from the Czech area, but other than that my family is from Latvia (and the surrounding area) many generations back. My dad also has a partial family tree and that only goes back to the early or mid 1800s (with a lot of holes).

The most interesting thing I know about my ancestry is that my siblings and I are the first people to break the chain of farmers (or people who have worked on farms) that go back possibly to the beginning of civilisation. We're rebels, we are.
