Genealogy background

so something else I haven’t shared yet is my love for genealogy and history

I had a 2nd cousin whom was a paid genealogist and we lost her years ago, but she handed her work down to my grandmother whom handed it down to me and I took over. Ive been digging and learning for 16 years. Cause of this Ive been able to trace my roots back to my 15th and 16th great grandparents.

It’s taken hundreds of years and hundreds of relationships for me to be here right now and to be the gentleman that i am. It’s taken me learning of wars, love, hate, hangings, slavery , things that should have ended my family generations ago but God turned it a different way and expanded the family instead. It’s taken me to want to be extremely different from the things I’ve come to learn and be different from generations of family before me that were not gentleman and not not good women either. That being said there were some amazing family members that did exceptional things that idk if I’ll be able to live up to their standards and accomplishments

I take one day at a time and only try and become better.

I am scotch Irish, Jewish, welsh, German, Quaker, creek Indian, French, English, Swedish. All of that mixed to make a strong gentleman

Gents you need to know where you came from to know where your going !!
