Hellow, Amy!

I need to bookmark this thread for sur now!

great links!

I've been researching my family history on both my mom and my dad's side for a little over 30 years. On my mom's side, (Relative new-comers to these shores, coming to the US around the 1850's) back to Bavaria and Prussia.

My dad's family I'v only been able to trace in this country, all I know about them is they came from a corner of North Carolina close to the Tennesse/NC line, in the Blue Ridge MTS. Before that, in the late 1790's they immigrated to NC from Virginia, but I've yet to determine when the came to Virgina or even to America.

There are several lines of this family group (this particular name) than I ever knew existed!

All I know right now about my dad's family is they may havr origanally came from England.

Hey Pippin. Hope you are having a great day.

A family tree can wither if no one tends to it’s Roots.
After 30 days, unclaimed ancestors will be adopted.
Genealogists are Time Unravelers.
Genealogy - tracing yourself back to better people.
A Pack Rat is hard to live with, but makes a Fine Ancestor.
I should have asked them before they died.
I am always late - my ancestors arrived on the JuneFlower.
Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards as Progress.

Hope you can share some of your findings later.

Not only a neighbor, but a cousin as well. Hi, Cousin!

The Mayor ...

"We have been here for a very long time."
Welcome aboard, Mayor! (A little Native American snobbishness getting expressed there ...)
