For these 2012 SNGF Genealympics, the motto is "Research, Cite, Analyze, Resolve, Conclude!"
Competitors can:
a) Design your own Genealympics flag to represent your ancestry, heritage or personal expression.
I have chosen to create a personalized flag reflecting my children's heritage. Germany is represented twice since my husband and I both have German heritage. The left side shows my heritage, Norwegian, German, and Irish. The right side represents my husband's heritage of Scottish, German, and Swedish.
The flags of Ireland and Sweden are a bit larger that the others to reflect a larger percentage of those ancestries. Of course the American Flag is the central focus since we are both at least 2nd generation Americans.
My blog began during the 2010 Winter Olympics so I definitely want to participate in these Genealympics. I'll be back!
Love your flag!
