William “Chip” Eckles
My Dad was half German, a quarter English and a quarter Scotts-Irish, so compared to my Mom, I am more English and less Swedish as you would expect. The Norwegian is a surprise.
Mary Kate Eckles
Colleen is 3/4 English and 1/4 Irish, so compared to me, Mary Kate is much more Irish/Scottish/English and less Swedish as you would expect.
