Glad that you liked the post my friend.
Hope all is well with you!
Blessings!
You always have fantastic images cousin Stephen.
One day we'll have to compare family histories to see if we really are cousins 😜
I bet we are, somewhere way back. Although, now that I think of it, my "Smith" ancestry is "Scots Irish" and the Irish name was "Gowan" or 'O'Gowan'
"Gowan" being the Anglisized version of the Gaelic word for smith, as in metal worker.
And now you know far too much trivia about my ancestry ha ha ha ha...
Blessings and Happy Holidays to you as well.
Hahaha, thank you for the ancestry history here cousin Jerry, but I have no idea who my great, great grandfathers partied with.
All that I do know is that I am some sort of breed and that I get along with Europeans better than with South Africans.
Troubled me in the past, but now I am too old to worry about it Lol
Blessings!
Ancestry and genealogy are pretty big with my family, and many of the folks down around here.
For instance, my mother's father told none of his children much at all about who he was or where he was from, hence we have only the names of two siblings, the area where the sister lived, but otherwise we know nothing.
Genetic tests yield dubious results.
We know that he worked on building the original trans Florida RailRoad all the way down to Key West , then he rode the train back as far as SE Georgia, got off in Eldora Ga 1896, married my G mother who was 30+ yrs younger and had 10 children.
We are pretty sure he or his parents fled the Potato Famine.
For all we know, we are descended from a convicted but escaped murderer
Hahaha, your mother might have been married to Papillon himself my friend!
Some similarities here as my wife is 23 years younger than me, but no children Lol
It seems to be a "Smith" thing hahaha
Blessings!
