My Family Ancestry

Tweet

I am glad that I have not had the chance to be on here. Why? Because I was able to see all of my discussions thus far and know that I had not yet written about this subject. My Family Ancestry. My grandfather is doing research on his side of things. Well, more specifically, his father's side of things. So far we have pinpointed down several locations that my family have come from. Both here in the United States and overseas. Overseas we seem to hail from Shropshire, UK and surrounding areas. Of course this would be our ancestors from around the 1700's. I know that further research has been done for further back but I am not privy to the information there. Other sides of my family hail from perhaps Germany and Ireland. This is still on my mother's side (grandfather's side) of things. I believe my grandmother (mother's mother) could either have family from England or Germany, either / or. On my father's side of things I am still yet uncertain. I've done my own research there but was only able to go back five generations. I wanted to find out where hence we hail but could not even leave America in my research. I have always been interested in family history. Growing up on tales of great uncles and cousins and the like. I have an ancestor born on the sea, though I suppose that isn't a very unlikely occurrence after all. That she survived to be married and have children of her own, however, is. Though she did die in childbed.
