Hardly. My Dad was 100% German / My Ma was 100% Austrian. My Ma was a 1st Generation American, her siblings and parents imigrated to the U.S. in 1932. My Great Grandparents imigrated to the U.S. (Milwaukee) in 1878. My Great Grandfather was a Brewer at Pabst from 1880 to 1919.

Thanks Dave.
Those plastic covers on the furniture was just a fad. Then the next fad was shag carpeting in the 60's. Which they put over beautiful hardwood floors. The house had 9' ceilings, and the kitchen had beautiful birch hand crafted cabinets from the floor to ceiling and they painted them. Along with painting 12" hardwood base boards. If anything...I thought my parents were leaning more towards being Polish.

Watch it, I literally couldn't be anymore polish! No plastic covers on any of the furniture in my parents or the grandparents homes that I can recall. I actually have a grandparent still alive and relatively well at 99 years old, an amazing woman!
Matt, no slight to the Polish intended. Riverwest is the neighborhood in Milwaukee that I'm from which was originally all German/Polish.
