Danish

I come from a large extended family. Each generation before mine had a half dozen kids or more and shared a similarity in heritage. I am both fourth and fifth generation Danish-American which doesn't sound like much really, but to me it's something. From Denmark, each family settled in Wisconsin and Minnesota which is still predominantly Danish. I have been there once or twice and it seems so natural to be in these areas where I blend in and people share a certain culture even if they don't understand why.
