[Opinions] Re: Slovakian names and a question
You should go there. My BIL did the genealogy for my dh's family. So when he and I went to Germany we were able to go to the small village his ancestors were from. I notice with my nieces that they have next to no interest in English / Irish culture. Sad. I'd say two generations and it's gone, unless you actively promote it.

That is sad. But it's easy to not want something that you have, if you know what I mean. It's like when I was 13 to 16 years old, I colored my hair everything that I could get away with so that I didn't have to admit to myself that I was a natural blonde. My mom always told me that I'd appreciate it someday, and she was right. Maybe when your nieces have kids they'll start to appreciate English / Irish culture more.
