aside from being born and raised in canada...
my whole area is pretty much german. my ancestors come mostly from germany and partly from russia.
as you can tell by almost all the town and village names where i live (the german language is almost as popular as english is here) we are dominantly german.
examples... i live in and around these places:
gnadenfeld, nubergthal, halbstadt, altona (also suburb of hamburg), rosenfeld, gretna, and sommerfeld. i believe you will find all of these places in germany as well.
its also come to my knowledge within the past year or so that several former german soldiers of ww2 also have settled around these parts. i want to meet one of them one day, curiousity sake, however ive heard they dont wish to talk about it with anyone, and that i can understand.
