Not a Native, but does it matter?

I pay taxes here so I consider myself a "local". Please note that I did not say "native". Wonder how many people residing in this county were born here. Does anyone have a clue?

Still wondering about this. How many people residing in this county were born here?

I have always wondered about that too Tessa!

I was not actually born here.. I was born in Fulton County myself. I was a premie. My family roots are here.. the most I can date back to family names tho, is Vandivers.

There is history here tho.. with lots of people being born here to families that have been here for generations.. times have changed.. old names have died out but not all.. kids chose to move away to make better money, and have more in their lives.. some come back, others dont..

Locals have a residence with a local phone number.. address.. (lotsa folks who are locals but not natives see more about our area than natives sometimes do because they are looking into the history to know what it is.. but Natives can tell ya plain as day WHAT it was or has been.. /? Dont mean that to sound .. ahh.. I hope that it makes sence.. I think its great.. all of us learn from one another..

Natives have been here ever since their life began or they can remember.

Thats my lil humble view anyways..lol!

I was born here, I lived in Atlanta off and on for a few years and made good money but I couldn't stand the people and the traffic. I would guess that over half the people who I graduated high school with did the same thing except alot of them didn't come back.
