My herritage...

[DeesBalls]

so i know this is probably a long shot... but i have been trying to find out my heritage and ancestor, but with no luck...

a quick google search led me to believe that i originate from Scotland... so i think i am either Scottish, or Polish..

with many people on here from different countries, i hope that maybe someone that is not from the states could help out?


like i said, i know it is probably a long shot, but thought i would try!
