Ruth Gregory Posts: 8072 Joined: 25th Jul 2007 Location: USA | quotePosted at 02:15 on 24th April 2009 Half Irish, half Lithanian. My mom's mother was born in Scotland, where her Irish parents were living at the time (1886) and my mother's dad was born in PA of Irish immigrant parents. Both my dad's parents were from the old country. My grandfather walked from Lithuania to Germany and then caught a boat to England, then PA, in 1901. He was 16. My grandma, born in '92 was brought to the US as an infant, presumably through Ellis Island.

Peter, I've done some legacy work on the Evans family..they got into an nasty Kentucky fued with my hubby's maternal Hill family side, shot each other up pretty good, left an lot of widows. Some say it was over politics and job occupations of which they were rivals also. This "fued" was the precusor to the Civil War. There are three different slightly versions of it. Evans are an big family to Virginia roots. We have some Scot-Irish saying they are from Wales, would you beleive that one! Many people that came by way of Ireland or England got tagged that even when they weren't in the early days. I find this newest DNA genealogy work fascinating though. It's been revealing the correct family amoung big families that don't know any other way. |

My mother's people were cherokee and her grandfather has statue in Smoak, South Carolina, USA, and my father's family were immigrants that came over to states after first 3 sons were born in France, back in about 1910. Most all of the states are made up of people from other countries( and still coming)thus called the 'Melting Pot'.I have lived in England longer than I have lived in the states, as my husband is British.This is home. |
