Oh Donna you are a proper mix, Germany and England and American to, very eclectic. I agree it is much easier to do if everyone is in the same country, so far I am 100% Scottish !!! lol Some of my family (grand fathers brothers) emigrated to America so we still have relations over there. Apparently Jim Reston a nephew of my grandfather, worked for the New York Times ! We Scots get everywhere !!! lmao

Sorry you havent found any skeletons they can be so much fun to unearth so keep looking !!! lol

Yes, Nothing too exciting although I have a friend that is related to a US president (Eisenhauer) and to a president murderer(Booth) she has so many nationalities in her blood, its like the united nations! hahaha You Got to love ancestry! I always thought I was German until I did some research, my dad's folks passed away before I was born so I did not know them. My Mom's folks were German farmers and spoke German on and off. My grandpa taught me words I can not repeat hahaha
