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.

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

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.

1774 was when my boatload of highlanders off loaded in South Carolina. A few years later they answered the call when Cornwallis asked for loyalists. Didn't work out to well and that's how they ended up in Mississippi territory in time for Alabama to be carved out.

Granny played hob trying to join the DAR. Had to dig through her mama's side to find an Armistead who served in the revolution.

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.

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.

I had at least 168 direct ancestors here before 1700. I am descended from William Brewster, the Pilgrim's Senior Elder and his wife Mary, who came over on the Mayflower in 1620. I had an ancestor in Jamestown by 1611 and 3 more by 1614.

William Hawkins, a many great grandfather of mine was the first Englishman to go to Brazil in 1500. His son Sir Admiral John Hawkins started the US slave trade and was the first person to bring tobacco to Europe.

My many great grandfather, Prince Henry First Sinclair of Orkney Born in Scotland is believed by many to have made a voyage of discovery to North America in 1398. After wintering in Nova Scotia, he sailed to Massachusetts and on an inland expedition in 1399 to Prospect Hill to view the surrounding countryside.

My first ancestor came here in 1634 as an indentured servant. He lied about his age, claiming to be 18 when he was 15. Family lived in Massachusetts until 1834, then they moved to Wisconsin, been here since. I have 3 relatives that fought in the Revolution, a dozen or so in the Civil War and many vets since.

Family legend has it that my Great Grandfather Jimmy McBrien served a Sheriff for Buffalo, N.Y. I remember as a kid being shown a picture of him in a chair leaning up against the wall of the jail. He also went west in the Gold Rush...not sure which one.
