When I think of my great great father he entered the country through Wisconsin and migrated to Michigan as a young man and married my Gr.Grandmother he had one child a girl and when my grandma was about 7 years, her father died of flu at the age of 25. If it was not for him having a child I would not be here.
This was some of the search I did on my bio family. As one read the stories of the 1800's how much stravation for those who immigrated and wondered around trying to lay down roots.
Goodnight Westy
