Welcome to my blog, I Am A Mutt.

It's true. I'm a mutt. Nothing about me is full-blooded anything. I am a mixture of many different cultures, traditions, languages and creeds. I'm part Native American. My grandfather was 100 percent Norwegian. I have a great-great-great-great-great-grandmother that was Inuit (Eskimo). Some of my ancestors were ministers. Some were merchants. Others were Mennonites.

The purpose of this blog is to allow me to research and report on my ancestors. One day, I may write a blog post about a great-great-great-great-grandfather who helped establish a village in New York state. Another day, I may write about my attempts to learn the language that some ancestors spoke. Maybe I tried a dish native to my "father land." It is the intention of this blog to motivate others to explore what makes them them, and to honor those who came before us (after all, if it wasn't for our great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents, we wouldn't be here!)

Also, if you see a surname that also appears in your family, we might be related! Feel free to contact me (at james.c.falcon@gmail.com) and we can explore that further. I'm always looking to meet new cousins!
