I'm a second generation Canadian, and in my travels of the world, have been told be many a foreigner that I have the thickest Western Canadian accent they have ever heard. Both grandfathers come from Austria but my dads grandfather was from the Western part and spoke German. My moms grandfather was from the far East in what is now Hungary, but was Ukranian through and through. I have an Aunt who had 3 brothers, and due to world conflict they're born in three different countries despite never moving as children (Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia) The family surname comes out as being German, but everytime I'm accused of being German I set the record straight. Oh no, I'm not German, I'm Austrian. Which is actually much worse, it was an Austrian that created the mess and havoc that was WWII and than was able to pass the blame onto the Germans.
