I didn't know you were Italian, Eden.
All the way on my Daddy's side - my maiden name was Battaglia. His grandparents were all immigrants- from near Napoli on my Grandma's side and Sicily on Grandpa's. Funny enough my Grandma's family actually lived out here in Oregon, near Tillamok, for a while when she was a kid- I seem to remember it even had something to do with a cheese factory. I didn't know that until recently. There might even still be some Tedesco relatives of mine down there for all I know - there are definitely some down in California, but its a really big family and I never got to know very many of my great aunts or uncles. My mom's family is classic American mutt - English, Irish, Scottish, German, Slovak and probably more.
