I will not state my place of birth, for I am ashamed of it. But been in Calgary 11 years now in August. Oh probably the best thing that coulda happend to me. Let's see, Flames fan since arouuuund 1992. So even before I moved, never liked those peskie eskies either. Both parent's from East Africa and brother is born in Calgary....that lucky bastard. If anyone can try and guess where I'm from please don't.....

I won't state where I think you were born, but is it 300km north of Calgary, and does it suck big time? [/b][/quote]

WHY MUST YOU BRING BACK SUCH PAINFUL MEMORIES......sniff sniff.....yes sad but true. I am born in Edmonton.....Which is why I hate it even more.....try living in that city, oh it's not pretty at all. Stupid Oilers......Stupid Trappers.....Stupid Drillers.....Stupid Eskimos.....Stupid Capital of Alberta

I am from a country that no longer exists in a world atlas. I was born in Zaire, which now goes by the name of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Oh, and I'm not African in the traditional sense of being negroid. But I do love the Flames.

[Daradon]

I was born in Calgary in 79, and have lived here since except for one year in Houston Texas shortly after I was born. Fell in love with the Flames during their 86 run, though I collected hockey cards and cheered for them even a few years before that.

As for my nationality, I always just say 'Canadian' because my family on both sides has been here for three maybe four generations (counting mine). My mom's side is mostly Ukrainian, tiny bit Polish, and my dad's side is a real mix. He give us new information each time we talk to him. Most Eastern European I think.

[The Goon]

I was born in Toronto in 1971, and lived there until last year when I moved to Calgary. I am still kicking myself for not moving here sooner.

[pope04]

Native Calgarian. Fourth-generation Albertan on my maternal side. German-Irish.

[Displaced Flames fan]

I was born in Kalispell, Montana. Parents were divorced when I was 5 and as a result, I bounced around a lot between them...so here's the places I lived in order....

Kalispell, Montana, Colorado Springs, CO, Ft. Dix, NJ, Motnrose, CO, Kalispell again, Grand Junction, CO, Parachute, CO, Wellington, KS, Grand Junction again, Parachute again, Wellington again, Parachute again, Lake Forest, CA, Kalispell again, Lake Forest again, Kalispell again and finally Wichita, KS. (well not finally because I'm leaving this town someday).

Both my kids were born in Kalispell. My wife was as well, but moved to Houston, BC when she was a few months old and grew up there. Her family lives in Houston and Williams Lake.

As for my heritage, my Mom's side is Irish and French (among other things like everyone) both branches of her family have been in North America for hundreds of years.

My Dad's side is german and german-russian. By german russian I mean germans who lived in Russia. They didn't come to the US until late 1800's.

My Mom has reasearched her family history extensively and I plan to take that over at some point. Lots of interesting stuff she's found. I love genealogy.

Born and raised in Calgary, I'm actually a 3rd generation Calgarian on my dad's side. My family needs to move around a bit more. Anyway my background is a giant mix of Dutch, German, Russian, Ukrainian, English and French. Well you could also throw some "American" in there as I had relatives who fought in the American Revolution and the Civil War. I'm a mutt, plain and simple.

Born in Calgary, everyone else in my family is Irish.

Super small towns here, so I won't bother naming which one I live in, although it is in the Trail-Castlegar area.

As for my heritage........

A Dutch Flames fan..........man, I'm lucky!!

[Calgary Flames]

As far as my heritage goes I have Russian, Austrian, American, and of course Canadian blood.
