6. My great-grandparents on my father's side came here from Germany

when my grandpa was about nine. So, my dad is a first-generation American. My great-grandmother came here from Sweden as a young woman, married here, had her children here. My mom is second generation.

They all farmed in Minnesota. As the story goes, great-grandpa was avoiding the draft in Germany. My grandfather served in World War I, and my father in World War II.
