My American Side

My American side is a wonderful mix of a variety of heritages. My lineage goes back to some of the first people to make their way over to the New World. My ancestors include a couple of Mayflower passengers, brave men who fought in the American Revolution and civil war, German Palatines, and I'm looking forward to discovering more.
