Just picked up a book on my mothers side of the family.I am just getting into it but have found out a couple of interesting facts. I had 2 relatives arrive here in 1620 on the Mayflower.The 12 year old girl was the first female ashore at Plymouth.Also had another relative that served in the revolutionary war it also listed those he served under. It's now time to go through the entire book, I just wish it would have gone all the way up to today. Tom

Very interesting. We all need to slow down and take a look at family history. I was given my grandfather’s scrap book of his time in the Pacific theater. Very interesting. My grandma never told me she made it

Tom Late comers, some of mine meet the boat, and others came in the 1560s where they were with the Spanish garrison in Florida All discovered by my aunt who is really into the genealogy thing

My dads side came from Sweden to Nebraska in 1900. After 1 year they moved to the Sandstone Mn. area. That farm is still in the family and owned and operated by my cousin and her family. Better country for black angus than corn. Tom

I have to go get a copy of a 1919 St.paul,MN. newspaper from my sister.My great grandmothers obituary is the front page of the paper. Her and my great grandfather were farming in MN. during the mid 1800s.They survived what was called the Sioux uprising of 1862. I remember the obituary stating that they survived on venison and Johnny cake for 10 years. Tom

Savell, my kinfolk rubbed shoulders with one of your texican heroes. Col. William Travis spent much of his life and law practice in Clarkesville, now a ghost town, in Clarke County, AL before abandoning his wife to go fight Santa Anna. .. Warrior... mine came to Texas from South Carolina to fight Mescins lol ... Historic Tombstone in the cemetery where most of my kin are buried .. buried my grandma there near him a few months ago
