17 years ago my family and I moved back to Whitesboro so that my kids could be close to their grandparents. I was born in Sherman, 17 miles east of us.

I have had people tell me I wasn't a "real Texan" because I wasn't born here.

But I am a descendant from one of the original 300 settlers of the Texas Colony.....so there!!!! :tongue: :tongue:

I have all the ancestry stuff and I even got a letter inviting me to be a member of the "Daughters of the Republic" but I never did it.

I know this sounds terrible...but they both sound as boring as "all get out" to me!!!

Mr. Bling's great-grandparents came from Hamburg. He learned to speak German before he learned English which could explain the occasional failure to communicate that we experience.:D :D

I was only there until I was 4 months old...so the only thing I ever learned in German was how to count to ten, thank you, your welcome and Volkswagen (I never knew that spelled wagen and not wagon!!)

That is what is soooo funny up here. I can drive 30 minutes and be in a different State in 3 directions. Yet I can drive for hours to the west or south west and never leave Texas.

219 miles per mapquest. My mom still lives less than a quarter of a mile from the hospital where I was born. I am a 4th generation Texan on my mom's side, my wife is a 6th generation Texan. I am pretty sure I am a Texan.

According to mapquest, about 389 miles from The Woodlands to Ozona, TX. We had no hospital so both my sisters and I were born at home.

My wife (Kaufman, TX) was born in the family car on the way to the hospital.

We may have some distant relatives, RM. I can't remember if my Texas ancestry goes back to the original 300, but we were here for the revolution. As a matter of fact, anything named Henderson (the county, the city, etc.) was named after my ancestors. I'm also a direct descendant of James Pinkney Henderson--first governor of Texas.

Hey Ranger Mom, you can also join The Old 300. Yes, a group for those who trace their roots back to ol' Stephen F's original colony. I was part of the founding of the organization as a teen back in '80s. oh, yeah.... about 75 miles from where I was born; been all around the world and damn glad to be stationed back home in Texas!

Apparently it depends on the route, so I'm splitting the difference and using the median at 4184.
