Generations Before Me

This information is the result of three months of research into my family history.With the exception of a few individuals from Switzerland, France, and Denmark, I found that the great majority of my ancestors came from Germany.Many of them left their homeland in the 1700's due most likely to the religious and political problems that were destroying their country.I can only imagine the courage it took to cross the ocean to a new, unsettled land and begin a new life there.
My family tree is large, but not nearly complete.I have more information on siblings of some of these ancestors.I also have begun working on my husband, Rich's, family tree.Interesting, but not really surprising since we come from the same general area, we have quite a few ancestors in common.Our parents and grandparents are distant cousins in ways we never knew before.
