I have one great-great grandmother who was Irish, her husband (my great great grandfather) was Scottish. My mom's side is almost purely German with a great great grandmother, or maybe even further back, who was French. But the rest were all German, and my dad's side was English. I think that pretty much makes me a mutt.

I'm deep into muttness. When I was growing up my grandparents on my fathers side always said that we were of German decent. They said that the spelling of our name was slightly altered from German to English during WWI because they didn't want to be labeled as German. From that original setup the family apparently was fairly randy because we then became German, French and smidgeon of American Indian. It wasn't hard to see the native American part because my grandmother had a very distinct nose shape the was identified as Native. However, on the male side of the family, based on noses, they might have been what was thought of as a stereotypical German Jew. My mother was pretty much all French, but all the records were lost in a fire and her father was adopted by the very English named family. But everyone in that family spoke French. So not sure about those.
So anyway, I did a genealogy project a few years back and found out that my Fathers surname was connected to a family the came to America from London. They had received a land grant for 100 acres from the King someplace just north of Boston in the late 1600's. They arrived here with three young boys to farm. According to the report he died about 6 months after they arrived and left his wife and three boys with pretty much nothing. She wasn't able to own the land because, she was female (imagine that) and the boys were to young. It didn't say what the did or were they lived to survive, but they did note that 20 years later she was granted a 1 acre spot, probably part of the same original 100 acre location. One of the sons eventually headed further north to Northern Mass., then New Hampshire and eventually in upper New York state where I eventually joined the clan. There was no record at all about the Native American connection as would be expected. From what they could tell I am a large portion of English and no German at all. Blimey!
My mothers family was a little easier, but again most of the records were lost in a fire at the State Capital in Albany in the early 1900'. What we did know was that they were mostly from Quebec. I was unable to trace it back any further then the generation that came down to the states or perhaps knowing how thing happened back then when they did the surveying for the border there is a good chance that the states went up to them.

Hey @SteveBrickNJ here’s an Irish rainbow for you, from right outside my front door!
The daffodils are already in bloom here. It’s so nice to see flowers at this time of year.
(not sure where to be putting these pics, here or in your Ireland thread!)

@Tiggerish
Did you follow it to the pot of gold ?

I had just started cooking dinner...but I was sure tempted, as clear as the end of that rainbow was!
But as everyone in Ireland knows, the reason why leprechauns hide their gold there is because the end of a rainbow is always in motion!

Private Number or Unknown
Recently someone or some organization has been calling my cell phone and I can't block them. The caller ID displays "Private Number" or other times it displays as : "Unknown". So when I try my usual method of selecting "block" I am unsuccessful. My Samsung Android cell phone won't or can't block...

Today @ 9am I report to the courthouse with other potential jurors.
They'll select 12 jurors and 2 alternates out of our group of 50.
I'm hoping to be excused but if God has other plans then so be it.
