My parents were not close to their siblings, and I rarely saw any of my cousins. The closest contact we have as a family is the occasional email. In the past my mother would often remark that I was like one or other of my father's three younger sisters (whom she loathed) or one of his more distant relatives - equally loathed by my mother. As a young child, I remember asking why I couldn't just be me! So it's all a bit of a mystery really!Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-55879054637893633872021-07-25T13:11:10.281+01:002021-07-25T13:11:10.281+01:00You are right there Graham.

One of my great grandmothers came to the US from Poland as a teenager around 1905 (her future husband was another young Polish immigrant who came over around the same time). I wonder about her life before coming here, all the things she saw, what traits may have ended up in me that I'll never know anything about. I know that I take after that side of the family in basic temperament (personality), and my blood type is different than my mom's and my dad's--I have my Polish grandfather's blood type. It's unusual, but possible.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-77927972108402016812021-07-24T21:49:03.372+01:002021-07-24T21:49:03.372+01:00I think that with an awareness though, comes the p...I think that with an awareness though, comes the possibility of change.
