Who Were Our Immigrant Ancestors?

Who Were Our Immigrant Ancestors? ©

Beginning with 1638 and since, from public records, all our family ancestors came in the legal way, from Germany, Normandy, and all over the British Isles; England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales.

They came, they worked, they built, they protected and cared for their families and became Americans. Some spoke German, others Gaelic, some English and other dialects, too, but all adopted English as their language for it was the language of America.

They paid their taxes and contributed to their communities, their churches and those in need.

They shared their children as soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen and fiercely supported and defended their country, America.
