I know my English relatives have been in America since 1624. Just a few years after Plymouth. It's fun to know about your background. I've done quite a bit of genealogy research. As for westerns, I was quite a fan for a long, long time. I still like them very much but haven't watched any in a long time. I'm not much of a pioneer, I guess.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05673288414533354350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870836041061571896.post-36245439242228073362022-07-12T17:59:23.862-04:002022-07-12T17:59:23.862-04:00I always believed a big chunk of my DNA would poin...I always believed a big chunk of my DNA would point to Germany, but no. I've forgotten the numbers, but Ancestry shows the biggest part is Norwegian.

That's a pretty cool story about your great, great-grandpa and his brother! My adopted dad's grandparents came from Ireland and my aunt was never able to prove it, but we highly suspect that they came over on the same ship from details each shared...he as a poor immigrant in steerage and her as a lady's maid...though they never met until a few years later when both made their way to Pittsburgh.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316595488903619354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870836041061571896.post-14494114779298976202022-07-12T11:31:29.469-04:002022-07-12T11:31:29.469-04:00To get that information, I went to Dayton's Li...To get that information, I went to Dayton's Library and found a great big reference book of ships and passengers probably at least 15 years ago.

That is so cool. I haven't really delved into that aspect yet in my research, but I think I will see what I can see. I do enjoy doing the research on Ancestry, but I don't want to pay more money to look at more documents. It gets expensive! I am amazed that you have stayed right there in your hometown/job, etc. all these years. That is very commendable. I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like for me to stay in the same town where I grew up, although my parents stayed there until they died. It was always good to know their home was there to go "home" to, but not anymore since they are gone to their heavenly home. The only downside to moving as much as we did is that our kids never really knew where their "hometown" was. It was hardest on them moving so much. Oh, I love John Wayne movies too. He was the best! So glad you participated today. Always fun to learn about each other's backgrounds.Pamela M. Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04060656432106792419noreply@blogger.com
