Well most strippers in my country are from Ukraine, sometimes i think that's their main export.
All four of my grandparents came from Ukraine and none of them were strippers. Mind you, none of them were Ukrainian either.

Wie zum tufel haben sich deine grssalteren gefunden, es gibt nicht viele deutche in Ukraine.
Mein Vater Groeltern zog nach Russland zu bauen Windmhlen und mein Grovater wurde dort geboren. Die anderen drei waren Mennoniten, die nach Russland zog nach Wehrdienst in anderen Lndern zu vermeiden.
Es gibt nicht viele Deutsche in der Ukraine verlassen, weil sie alle zog nach Kanada.
(Ich habe Google Translate, das zu schreiben.)
[translation]
My father's grandparents moved to Russia to build windmills and my grandfather was born there. The other three were Mennonites who moved to Russia to avoid military service in other countries.
There aren't many Germans left in Ukraine because they all moved to Canada.
(I used Google Translate to write this.)

LOL what kind of a German are you Hitler is spinning in his grave
It gets worse. My grandmother was a Mennonite (pacifist) and my grandfather was from East Prussia - and served in the German Army (before WWI). Their families lived a few miles apart in Ukraine, came to Canada separately and settled a few miles apart before they finally got together.
So you never know. I hope it turns out as well for yenmor.

Shouldn't that have been written as: ...
I wondered about that myself but who am I to question Google? I never really learned German. My parents used to speak it to the older generation and when they didn't want us to know what they were saying (but we still caught on to a lot of it).

A lot of them also settled in eastern North Dakota....
My grandparents actually lived in North Dakota for a while too. A lot of people kinda slid back and forth. The border wasn't quite as firm a hundred years ago as it is now.
