My parents did alot of research on my father’s family and made trips to Scotland and Ireland as well as here in the states. My Dad wrote a little book on one part of the family. Pretty neat stuff, I’ll post some pics tonight if I have time. Personally I find it fascinating.
Good morning, Visualops. Great to see you this morning.
So far, the ancestors I have found have been here forever. I have Reed’s and Niepman’s arrived from Germany about 1787. My Swetnam line goes back to Stafford, VA. I have a copy of church records showing a marriage in 1765. From all I can find this family came from Cheshire, England.
I wish I had time to do more genealogy traveling. A great memory was of time spend in Iowa doing research and meeting very distant relatives.
Hope you find time to share some of your pictures tonight.
