Born in the middle of WVa in the foothills to the mountains. My family has lived here since before the Civil War. I grew up, got educated and moved out of state to the big city. My family, career and wanderlust took me to many places including South America, the Caribbean and Europe. In the end, I retired and moved back here to the old homeplace and here is where I am the most content.

Lost my great grandfather a couple weeks ago, he was 90 years old and born in southwestern Virginia in a one room cabin surrounded by farmland along the new river. He was always super reserved and didn’t say a whole lot, but sometimes I could get him talking and telling stories about what it was like growing up in Virginia in the 30s and 40s. He moved to Ohio to work at a Ford factory in the 50s or 60s and worked there til he retired in the 80s. He moved back to Virginia and purchased all the land he grew up on, built a house and lived the rest of his days there. He’d always tell me about what the towns used to look like there, and how Pulaski was so big for furniture manufacturing, and talked about catching a train to get from max meadows to wytheville. Wish I could sit down with him one more time and hear his stories, because every time I learn something new about the area and my family’s history

My sister took a DNA test that had 10% Scotland, and 1% Wale. My father spoke about his great grandmother having long hair almost to the ground. It’s just weird for me not knowing my roots. I’m AA but my genes run deep. No clue 100% what they are. Do plan to take a DNA one day soon, but i just thought it was interesting seeing you mention Scotland, and Wales. Maybe my DNA don’t have the Native gene

My maternal grandfather, born in 1894, was my link to 19th Century Appalachia. Yeah, he could joke about the stereotypes, but he was dead serious about the facts-warts and all. Though he never went further than the 6th grade, he was a renaissance man, engineer, philosopher, and environmentalist. I’ll always remember him when I see those like you perpetuating knowledge of this part of our national landscape. Thanks, Josh

Ancestors on my maternal grandmother’s side are Appalachian: She was 1/8 Cherokee, and the first and only child in her family not born in Tennessee. Her family moved to Oklahoma, then she and Grandpa moved to California after the dust bowl. The descendant of Scotch Irish immigrants, she passed along stories passed down through generations. Appalachia holds a special place in my heart!

I was born and raised in a rural area in Tennessee, 19 miles from the nearest town. My dad was older and wanted to live off the grid, and be a hermit back home when he got out of the military. His side goes back many generations in the area. The farthest back is the late 1600s in Virginia. But unfortunately, because he had alienated people because of the way he was, I didn't really get a chance to get to know his family much. So when I turned 18 I didn't feel tied to anyone really. My mom was from Michigan and her family was new without roots. Circumstances made it where I was raised by my dad without her, on 25 acres in the mountains. He didn't have electricity or indoor plumbing til I started high-school. I grew up in the 80s/90s, and it was unusual for my peers at the time to live like I did. It was hard. When I was growing up I resented the poverty, and isolation. As soon as got old enough I couldn't wait to leave. I moved to various states and places, favoring cities. I was always proud of who I was. I just wanted to see what was out there, job opportunities, and find out more about my mom's side. And so many times over the years when I've had hard times, I fell back on what I learned there and ways that always worked when I was growing up. The older I get, the more I appreciate it.

I've realized that, while I am not from this region and do not claim the heritage, it is remarkably similar to my own history, based in the Finnish, Swedish, and Polish people of Northern Minnesota. Even at this early point in your work, your ability to bring a viewer in close proximity to the subject matter is evident.

Both sets of my grandparents. did the 3 Rs, paternal from Flat gap KY (Paintsville) the other from Pikeville. One set ending up in Columbus the other Detroit (then later Columbus). I remember going to the old Baldwin home place as a kid. It was in the middle of nowhere in Johnson County KY and everything had been sold off to the state except for the lot the house sat on and was like a museum we weren't allowed to even sit on the furniture in the parlor lol. Lots of family memorabilia on the walls. It's no longer there and I wonder what happened to everything and wish I could have appreciated it more, but I was just a kid, I would love to know more about my mountain roots.

I really want to go back home but the sleeziness of how I feel when I return now is beyond words. I still try to show my parents I care about them but they are so changed I think they truly don’t care. I chose to take all the best parts of growing up in a small town and apply them to my life and never look back.

I was born and raised in the Smoky Mountains of Nantahala, North Carolina, where my dad's family had lived for two centuries, and grew up farming, logging, mining, and moonshining. My natural accent is very much akin to that of Popcorn Sutton, God rest his soul, and I was brought up with the Reformed Protestant faith and willingness to fight for freedom from tyranny my ancestors did as Covenanters in the English Civil War, Patriots in the American War of Independence, and Rebels in the War of Southern Independence. Our fighting Anglo-Celtic blood runs deep, from the Nantahala Rangers to the Overmountain Men to the Billy Boys to the Border Reivers. Ironically, you wouldn't think it by looking at me, as I'm half-Filipino and bear more of a resemblance to Markiplier as a result.

Spanish was heard spoken in Appalachia several decades before English.

That's true because the Dutch came in there first with their Portuguese (Spanish speaking) sailing crews in the mid-late 1500s. The Dutch, French, Spanish were all here on US soil way before England (Jamestown/Roanoak/Pilgrims) came.

Thats a good question. My roots the Burnett family were in VIRGINIA in the 1640's . Does that make me Appalachian? Maybe it the feeling you get from living in the mountains, i dont know

Your map of Virginia is wrong. It doesn't go far enough east in the state to include the Blue Ridge mountain range which is part of the Appalachian Mountains.
