Interesting little place. That’s neat that you could fish out an ancestral village.
Americans come from the most obscure places all over the planet. Nowadays the elites with their nefarious agenda intentionally conflate legitimate want-to-be-an-American immigrants with interlopers.
I was about to hit reply a little bit ago, but then I heard a turkey outside the kitchen door calling for me.
Poor little sweethearts, they are so needy in this frigid weather. They sure came-a-running. I could put 100# of corn out there and it would be gobbled up in short order. I can only do what I can.
Yes indeed. A true “Immigrant”, seeking to work, make a better life for his family, and become an American is different that what we have now.
The ancestor from “Kerry-Two-Hill” immediately joined the army upon his arrival in the New World, and ended up being in the Ninth Massachusetts Infantry and was wounded in the First Battle of Manasses (Bull Run). Upon his return to Boston, He joined the National Guard and ended up fighting the Great Boston Fire that leveled the West End (Where Government Center is now).
He is buried in a very old section of Old Calvary Cemetery in Roslindale, MA (part of Boston) that is set aside for Civil War Vets.
Those are the kind of immigrants that made America great back-in-the-day. None of us object to those kind of immigrants whatever color or ethnicity they may be.
