It's funny. Before I researched the family history, I was convinced my family were from Scandinavia and I still feel a genuine fondness even though I've since been proven wrong. I feel the same as you, and it'd be even stronger if it was recent ancestry (i.e. last five centuries). And if it had have been true, of course.
I guess we all find our place and are happy with what we have. I was happy both ways.
Do you love your country?

A nicely put sense of time and place. I'm on another continent, but feel deeply connected to my ancestors and blessed that some moved on.
