Massive Migration around the world has been going on for 135 years. Where are your people originally? and what countries did they migrate to? and what impact have they made?

Apparently my family were in Norway 1,000 years ago... and then made their way to Sicily... and then to New York... and here I am.

Mitochondrially, anyway. Paternally, who knows.

Your gene has been migrating all those centuries.

I recently read that Southern Europeans have been migrating since the late 1880's and it was coined "New Immigration" which was the very beginning of the large migration to America which gave rise to a greater diversity of immigrants.

Besides America where did your people migrate also?

Correct.

In the case of Southern Italians and Sicilians, it was because their country was conquered by their northern neighbors, their monarchy thrown away and replaced with a foreign one, and their industries stolen.

Sicily wasn't always poor, and Naples wasn't always a ghetto.

Taormina in Sicily is considered an affluent society and the financial district parts of Naples is one of the prime business location. Base upon what I've read....

Oh, I love Taormina. Spent a lot of time there. Wouldn't want to live there (I prefer the West Coast), but it's gorgeous.

As for the question you edited into the first post, United States, Argentina, Peru.

Argentina population should grow considering it's massive land size. Maybe there should be more migration toward Argentina. hehe

Brazil and Uruguay probably got more of the northern Italians. Also, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Mexico.

Australia, too, has a lot of Northern Italians.

About 20 million people live in Australia, and over a million of them are of Italian origin. Not a huge percentage when you consider Uruguay and Argentina are 50% Italian but still.

[uranbigis]

I don't even think it makes sense for me to call a specific group "my people". I guess Europeans as a whole would be the closest I could get.

20 milliion people sounds big, but Australia, a country and a continent does need those large population of immigrants. I guess Aussies will one day become World Cup Super Power...

There's an Opera House in Sydney, probably that was contructed by Italian immigrants...

Crocodile Dundee is probably Crocodile Donadi....hehe....maybe not...punch drunk

My family is originally from Turkey. My grandfather had the choice to move to the Netherlands or Australia. He chose Europe because it's closer to Turkey. My grandparents moved back to Turkey years ago, my parents are planning to move back in 5 years and I think that I will also move back to Turkey in about 5 years.

And my maternal line moved from Siberia to Turkey about 1000 years ago. She had a great impact on Anatolia.

so much distance to cover, Siberia is on the east, they settled in several parts before arriving in the country of Turkey....

Did notice Amsterdam has several different immigrants, I dont know too much about the Dutch immigration history, but I read and hear sometimes....

Yes ofcourse. It was probably something like this Siberia --> Mongolia/Xionghu --> Central Asia --> Turkey.

About 300 or 400 years ago. My people were shipped across the Atlantic from various points of West/Central Africa to British North America, and that's all I know about my African ancestry.

last few years, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Ethiopian have been the largest African immigrants to the U.S.

I'm an American and by definition a mutt...specifically a mix of northern European and at least 2 native American tribes (Southern Cheyenne and Powhatan). I can document four distinct groupings in my family via my grandparents on both sides. My mother's father side is a mix of Swede/Finns, Danish and Irish- all coming here in the 1800s. My mother's mother side is old guard English and Scots (here since the early 1600s) and Hugenot French (also here since the 1600s). These groups married natives too.
My father father is a mix of Scots-Irish, English and Alsatian. His mother's side is a mix of English. Irish and Native American. My wife's ancestry is much cleaner 50% Irish and 50% French (both arriving in the US between WWI and WWII).
