It turns out I am the all American Mutt!! I am of the typical European Descent. And you know the more I find out the prouder I am of my roots. I have Danish roots, Neilson`s who came from Jutland around 1880. My Rowe`s I`ve traced back as far as Somerset County, Maine. My great great grandfather Alden Rowe brought his wife, and first children in a covered wagon to California to mine for gold. Dutch roots are the Vanatta`s who came to America when New York was New Amesterdam. A few generations later in 1854, Gearshum and Wife made it from Illinois to Linn, Oregon via covered wagon on the Oregon trail. I have Clapp`s from Germany! I also have a couple of Pilgrims in my line, Richard Warren came over on the Mayflower. One of his granddaughters, married a grandson of Edward Bompasse who came over on the second ship in 1621, the good ship Fortune. I have Stuarts, McClaskey`s, and Murphey`s who are all no doubt of Celtic heritage. I have Shatto`s who might have come from Chateu`s, and maybe French Hugeonuts. I have more than this site can show, and I`m always looking for more information and am willing to share all that I have in order to help make a more complete picture of the history. And these are just SOME of the details!
Welcome to My Family History!!!
