No; your story is not boring! None of us can know
everything about our ancestors. Daddy had to go to
Italy to fight the Germans during WWII. He loved the
Italian people; German officers not so much. He felt sorry
for the ordinary conscripted German soldier because they
were only there because Hitler demanded it. - Heck, by
that time, the Civil War was OVER and done with for
better or worse; mostly worse. On Momma’s side of it;
her folks came over here to escape the Potato Famine. Also,
on her side of it; there were the Huguenots who were run
out of France because they were Protestants. Later, my
Huguenot ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War and got
land grants (dwindled away due to lots of kids). Maybe
the Lord will one day tell us all about our ancestors; but
I somehow think that bloodlines aren’t all that big a deal
to him. In one place in the Bible, it’s referred to as
“useless genealogies”.
There’s a town called Huguenot on Staten Island!!
has to be named after them!
Interesting story.
We weren’t here for the civil war. There was no reason to fight it. If the south had had the same numbers, they would have clocked the north, which also forced Irish to fight right off the boat.
Slavery would have eventually disappeared without 600,000!!! men dying.
