Where I'm From Recently, I have been questioning my origins. I mean, who doesn't in their lives? I wanted to know where I was from, and how that led me to be me. Here. After consulting my brother for a project that he had to do about our family origins, I examined the project and looked up every map and commune on there. Turns out I'm not Occitan, or Italian, or Belgian, or Austrian. I may have been but it would have to be far. So far it hasn't been documented. I have only been able to reach up to the 1600's, but what if somehow I made it up to the Middle Ages? It fascinates me. This summer I asked my grandfather if he knew where my last name came from, and he said it was probably Roman. Nobody knows much about my last name. It's an obscure, hidden name. It is frequently autocorrected on phones. There was even the least information on that last name, and the earliest record on my brother's project of that name was in 1897. But now, I have the facts. I am not Occitan. I am not Italian. I am not Belgian. I am Celtic. I am French. I am German.

From my discoveries I am:
 * French
 * Ardechois
 * Alsatian
 * Breton
 * Provençal
 * Swiss
