Welcome!
Growing up, I was told that I was German, French, Scotch, Dutch, Irish, Native American, and supposedly "Gypsy". Since I started climbing the family tree, I have found everything except the Indian & Gypsy. I haven't given up on the Indian line though, surely it comes through the French-Canadian lines. - As a bonus, however, I found a lot of pre-colonial English!
A recent discovery was that of German blood in the French ASHLINE/ASSELIN line! Apparently a Hessien soldier, (Wm. HILDEBRANT) fighting for the English during the American War for Independence, decided to stay on in Canada after the war; most likely given land as compensation.
~ So you see, history IS always re-writing itself. Even though the ancestors are gone, families continue to be fluid and alive. Something sacred was lost when the family unit declined. It is my wish to see as many people connected as possible - so my site is open to All.
If someone could get all family trees into one database, we would discover that we truly are ALL "cousins", Ohana... family.
Enjoy your journey! ~ And let me know if we're related! :)
~ A Great Big THANK YOU!
Many others have helped my tree to grow, through their considerate sharing - people I have never even "met". Particulary helpful was the work of Marie Bonafonte, done on the ISERMAN/MOREHOUSE/BROUGHTON lines. And a BIDDLEMAN family tree from Kansas, helped plug in many older ISERMAN line ancestors. Others merely shared leads, tips, pointers, or their own family - but all gave freely.
Giving is the gift that keeps on giving... pay it forward!
