I’ve not dug that deeply into my mother’s side but did on my dad’s side. But both sides landed in PA and then moved down the coastline. Then moved inland to the TN, KY, Virginia’s area. They were tobacco farmers but didn’t own slaves thank goodness. But one of my great grandpa’s fought in the Civil War. I just sat there in disbelief and if he had been killed, I wouldn’t be here today.

I really don’t know all that much about my family line, though I did have 7 uncles that were in WW2, and all of them survived it. Amazing how close a lot of us probably were to not being born, just one little stray thing that could have happened to the right ancestor at the right moment, and no future ‘you’. Could probably be said about a lot of people, they just don’t know it.
