Personal History

I never really was told how my ancestors got to America but I do know what nationality my grandparents are so I probably know where they were born and where they came from. On my mothers side of the family my grandfather is Canadian so my great great grandfather probably got to America from Canada, my grandmother is Irish so I m assuming my great great grandmother came to America from Ireland.
On my fathers side of the family its all Italian my grandmother is Sicilian so my great great grandmother I guess came to America from Sicily, Apparently I do not know what part of Italy my grandfather came from (I'll try to find out). As far as I know all my grandparents are Christian (I'll try to find out). I would'nt know if my grandmother or grandfather speak Italian (my fathers side of the family) but I do know that my grandparents speak a little French (my mothers side of the family).
My parents were born in the U.S. and so was my brother, my sister, and me and thats why we all speak English but my dad speaks a little Italian. Even if I am not German I am learning German(Danke, Vielen Dank)(thank you,thank you very much), my brother knows some Spanish because he is learning it from school, my sister apparently does not speak any languages.
I do not know why my great grandparents came to America but I'll see what I can do to find out the next time I edit this blog but I m assuming that they came because they wanted to be free.I also dont know when they came but like I said I'll try to find out.
I am Christian because my grandfather is Christian (on my mother's side of the family)and he is Canadian(I guess) and my grandmother and grandfather are Christian (on my fathers side of the family)because they are Italian ( I guess).
O k so now I am editing my blog again and I promised you more information but I didnt get it because I didnt get time to talk to my grandparents on both sides of my family or my parents, and the worst part is that my grandparents are coming over my house today after school so you think I would get the information from them today and then on Monday well I cant I am going on vacation all next week (I m leaving on Sunday so how screwed am I) o well.

Using Google

Using Google sometimes is easy when your searching for something but with advanced searching on Google it will be easier to search, let me explain. I was searching for German weapons in world war 2 so I went to the advanced searching and at first there were over a million websites and then after I narrowed the search by putting in World War 2, weapons, german, united states into the search tools of
all of the words
with the exact phrase
with at least one of the words
without the words
after that it came up with half a million websites so its like it gave more specific things I was looking for. On my next search quest I was looking for World war 1 weapons and I got 68,000,000 results and then after narrowing my search twice there was only 24,500 results (who would of thought) did the same thing as I did with the german weapons and it came with less results than I had before. So the next time you go to Google and your looking for specific things go to the advanced search engine on Google it will be more useful than you think.

Searching the Web

While I was searching on the web for Adolf Hitler I found a good website that told me a lot of true things about Hitler. This information is located at -http://www.history.com/search.do?searchText=Hitler. I really recommend this website for the searching of Adolf Hitler. Also while I was searching I found another site that wasnt as great as the recent eins (one in german) such website told me lies about Hitler which I knew wasnt true this reckless information was found at Hitler Historical Museum.
I also searched for German weapons in World War 2 I found a good website that showed a picture and a paragraph about the weapon. These facts were found at German WW2 weapons.
During the search for the german weapon info I was directed to bad website that gave me nothing I was looking for this is called The Encyclopedia of Weapons of WWII: .

Peer review of I'am

The I am that I am reviewing is Rebbeca C's blog. Her blog told me a lot about her life and what she does in her spare time. She also told me her likes and dislikes which was a bit awkward but it was fine. Even though she did not write much it was more than enough to tell me about her.
