Jah, ein leibe Deutschland.

I learned German at school because my late Granddad was teaching himself how to learn the language and he wrote letters to me in German with the English translation, before he died. I have a German heritage with my last name being German, based on a town in Germany where my ancestors came from. We have our own shield and family tree in a Dahlenburg book which includes a diary of my great great great Grandfather who's mother wrote in a diary on the ship to New Zealand. I eventually want to teach myself the language again as I have forgotten a lot of the words I knew from school. I plan on visiting the town and the rest of Germany when I have got some money saved.
