Swampy was born central Illinois (yes, certain parts of Illinois are south of I-80).
Nationality -- most of his family has been in the US for a very long time. Swampy has veterans of both the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.
However, one exception is his mother's father, who came to the US from Strumica, Macedonia (or, for certain people, the "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia").
