I felt like he had just given me all the money in the world! I often wondered what ever happened to him. He has not attended any of my class reunions. Maybe one day.

I am really proud of all the work and success you've had! My heritage is traced back to Cherokee, Choctaw, Irish, Scottish, German, and British. I celebrate my Irish the most. One of my great, great grandmothers was on the Trail of Tears. My boyfriend is a lot of Irish and his maternal side immigrated from Ireland to work on the Pennsylvania railroad. He is the first of five generations to get a college degree in something different and not work on the railroad! Very interesting stuff. I am glad you have written about something extra close to your heart! Keep it up!! Hello Kim!

We can trace one line straight back to William Bradford, from the Mayflower. Other lines are more murky, since I'm German and Swedish too but I find it fascinating to try and follow them back. You never know what you'll find. I guess it goes with being a writer--always wondering about the people and their stories! Hi Kim!

Thank goodness for those with green thumbs. I'm certainly grateful. I tend to kill everything I try to grow. So, yes, farmers very important! Joye: Yes! America the beautiful. The great melting pot. That's what makes us special. We're a wonderful blend. Kim Jackie: Without farmers we’d all starve! Thank goodness for those with green thumbs. I’m certainly grateful.

I really don't know where my ancestors were from-a mixture I am sure. My father had a bit of Dutch in him and I think my mother's folks were from England. No matter what, I consider my self an Ameerican first and foremost and I observed a big celebration yesterday. Great article. I really don’t know where my ancestors were from-a mixture I am sure.

My family is from the great states of Colorado and Kansas. They were farmers and loved the land.

Ancestry that traces all the way to Charlemagne! How cool! Theresa: I can't speak much more than a bit of scattered French but I wish I'd paid more attention to my great grandmother when she'd tried to teach me our Native language. Alas, I was a kid more interested in anything but my heritage. Live and learn! Thanks for posting and sharing! Kim Amanda: Still amazing! Ancestry that traces all the way to Charlemagne! How cool!
