Where did you come from? How long ago? “

Both sides of my family trace back to Oglethorpe’s Colonial Georgia, prior to the Revolution.
Before that, it was England, Scotland, Ireland, with just a touch of French spice.
Mrs. R17’s family is the same.
We are just about as “Georgia” as you can get.
How neat to have such deep local roots.
HOT DAMN that is great. Did any of them know Scarlett O’Hara? LOL
As my ancestors were from very poor backgrounds in Europe there is not much to learn via lineage. No birth certificates and the baptismal records were very spotty.
again wish I had asked a LOT of questions to both grandmas decades ago to learn more. .. but I was naive at the time and self-centered and did not appreciate these things.
