                                            I have researched my lines back to Ireland, England, and Germany. My paternal grandmother's line goes back to the 1630s, many of whom were among the founding members of New Haven Colony in current day Connecticut.
Many of my ancestors were from Ireland seeking refuge from the potato famine. Eleven of my 16 great grandparents were Irish and nine of them made it to America.
All of these people are a part of me and I loved learning their stories.
I have researched not only these areas, but also Austria, Hungary, Poland, current day Ukraine, and Italy. And I have found ancestors for some people going back to the Mayflower arrival in America in 1620!
