Wow again. The tales of human experience are remarkable in their own right. I’m delighted to learn you have at least some firm knowledge of your forebears in life. I can trace back to great-great-grandparents who emigrated from Germany; a lot of farming or preaching depending on which side of the family. But there was no doubt they loved their country, despite its various battles and weaknesses.
My great grandmother’s family traces back to the 1500s. My best known ancestor would be Ethan Allen. I’ve been watching “Turn” on AMC and seeing Connecticut and Long Island family names of people I’ve read about while rooting around in family genealogy.
