Would you share with me your opinion concerning the following two sentences?

1.1. Where do you hail from?

1.2. Where do you come from?

Thanks for your efforts.

1.1. An archaic expression that is sometimes used in informal, friendly speech.
1.2. The normal way to say the same thing.

Both sentences have the same meaning.
