Let's just say I slept very well when I got home. :) <br /><br />Many of my family lines were already in North America before 1776 and I have yet to trace or pinpoint their immigration/origins. Which means I likely have even more distant ancestors (7th, 8th,?) buried across the country who I drove right on by.

My earliest ancestor to be born in America was probably my great-great-grandmother Frances Nusbaum, who was born in Pennsylvania in 1845. So the idea of sixth and fifth and fourth great-grandparents born and buried here amazes me!<br /><br />You must have been exhausted. When we were in Germany and visited cemeteries there, one or two cemeteries a day was all we could handle!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15720293202890878993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826248344207578284.post-30342975713375052732020-10-31T21:00:42.043-04:002020-10-31T21:00:42.043-04:00I have you to thank for inspiring and encouraging ...I have you to thank for inspiring and encouraging my passion for family history and showing how it's done.Family Sleutherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11584864778317578299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5826248344207578284.post-63121025187936265892020-10-31T17:24:32.881-04:002020-10-31T17:24:32.881-04:00Thank you!

Having researched for 40 years and wept tears over elusive ancestors and shouting for joy for the ones I "found" I am filled with gratitude.
