Mars or was it venus
 

People always said my family was from the moon as we were weird. However I have a complete tree from both sides going back to the 1700's. I didn't do it. Moms is from the family bible and Dad at the Huguenot Society in New Paltz N.Y. So English and French on Moms side and French with a little Dutch thrown in on Dads. I was told that I had too many redundant genic markers and that a child from a different group than Huguenot would be best. Married a Japanese from Hawaii so I guess that is about as far as you can get from Huguenot French.

On my dad's side The Isle of Mann---mother Dutch and German. Wife's grandfather was half Native American. Our family history is still a work in progress.

My father's parents came from Ireland, my mother's grandparents came from Germany.

I just prepared my sample this morning and shipping it to Ancestry.com. I can trace my mothers parents and my fathers mother but absolutely nothing on my paternal grandfather. Maybe I don't want to know?? :) I found a copy of his draft card but nothing else. Whatever I find out will be interesting.

My maternal father's family - Arrived early 1600s as a sea captain from Scotland in Boston, ditched the ship and moved to Vermont, later to Ontario, Canada and then the family split, half in Canada, half in US...like so many others.
Fathers family..GREENOCK, Scotland but hints that earlier they left the UK spent a few generations in France then back again...finally they sailed west! Yay!

Where in the world did your ancestors come from?
 

Mom's family is entirely Irish. They came in through Canada and settled in Caledonia NY around the turn of the 20th Century. Dad's family came over with the wave of Amish and Mennonite farmers offered refuge by William Penn in the late 1600s and early 1700s. They settled in what became Pennsylvania Dutch Country. They are mostly Swiss and German with a good smattering of Scandinavians. Lots of Masons in Dad's family.
