Patriots, I found this moving graph to be fascinating. I am adopted, but my adopted family was German Hungarian.
I am not quite sure what my real family was, I do know I have some Mongol (Magyar) blood, so I guess I am an American mutt! The Magyars were people who originated in the Urals and migrated westward to settle in what is now Hungary in the 9th century AD.The Uralic language of the Magyar; Hungarian.
Interestingly, Kaiser Wilhelm was not very popular in WW1 in the U.S. so my adopted family changed their names from Wilhelm to Williams. During WW1 Cincinnati lost its German newspapers, schools and several German named streets and there were anti-German riots and discrimination against Germans.
When I decided to learn German in school I came home and spoke German to my adopted mother. She was quite upset, she got angry with me and would not speak German with me saying WE ARE AMERICANS!
By the way, I always do that to my toothpaste!
