#133Earlier quoted context omitted.
I've always been amused by family trees in the old world. I was born in brazil but my great grandfather came as a war refugee fron Sweden (he had two brothers: one stayed in Sweden and the other fled to the Us). At that time there were refugees from all over europe arriving in latin america so it is very common where I live for someone to bear family names from 2 different countries (my wife has german and portuguese…
Our family name was "corrected" by some over-zealous Church of Scotland minister in the 19th Century - it was originally "Sclater" and was changed to the much more common "Slater". Just to confuse things, some of my ancestors really were originally Slaters as well!

#136Moved from one southern state of India to another about 600 years ago. If you're talking about moving between countries, I'd have to find out when humans moved to India. I did study in the US and then came back, so what does that make me :) ? Oh, I'm trying to do my own startup now.
If you don't mind, let me guess: You are from an Iyengar family. Your ancestors emigrated from Tamilnadu to Karnataka?
Correct-aa? :)

Humans moved to India 40,000 years ago. If you don't mind, let me guess: You are from an Iyengar family. Your ancestors emigrated from Tamilnadu to Karnataka? Correct-aa? :)
Although that means if I count my move to blr, that's 0 on this poll.
