My ancestors.
bgill,
My ancestors too.
My first ancestor came over in 1607 as a carpenter. I found his name on the manifest of the Godspeed. For that matter, I went aboard the Godspeed about 19 years ago. Unfortunately, it’s only about 1/4 to 1/3 original and the rest is restoration, but I can say that I’ve walked on the same deck and on the same ship as my ancestor.

My ancestors came a bit later, 1638, through Massachusetts. They were Puritans. They were part of a congregation led by the brother of my direct ancestor, and the church they left in Beccles, England is still being used to this day. Abraham Lincoln’s ancestors made the journey with them. They have a bust of him in that church.
