When I was doing genealogy research on my ancestors, I found that 2 families came over on the Mayflower so those families have been here forever. I also have Cherokee heritage so they have been here longer. I am an American—no other names needed. I have a relative who does not want to hear anything about our Indian heritage which I find a little odd. We are a sum of all our ancestors and I am proud of all of them. I do not have any genealogy info here but I have ancestors from England, Ireland, Scotland, Alsace Lorraine, and Russia. I was very surprised to find the Russian connection and from what I read, a Russian Empress. I do not know if I will be able to continue that with my vision problems. Have an appt Friday with my regular eye dr. Would appreciate prayers. My dr told me a couple weeks ago that my eyes were really inflamed. My daughter and I decided that was from all the pollen. : (
Prayers for your eyes. If it’s the pollen there are easy treatments for you. God bless.
You're in my prayers every day, but will be especially for Friday. Please let me know how things go.
Good luck and God bless you!
Mama,
Pursue that Russian connection, and you may find yet another nationality! After Catherine the Great died, her son decided the Empresses would no longer be able to rule as she did. The Emperors/Tsars usually chose a wife from another country: Nicholas II had a Mom from Denmark! Once again, WOW! (I don’t know a lot about history, but I am interested in Czarist Russia, kinda like some people follow Queen Elizabeth and her family).
Have a doc appointment of my own tomorrow, routine, and will remember you in prayer at yours, too. God bless!
