I know that on my mom's side of the family, that I am of Irish and German descent and on my biological father's side, that I am of Dutch, French Canadian, English and Cherokee Indian descent. When my dad who raised me passed away, my three brothers and I got all of the family pics, including pictures of his paternal grandparents. My oldest brother lost them and my grandmother's Bible<my dad who raised me, his mother>, nearly was destroyed thanks to my middle brother and his girlfriend. I now have the Bible in a hatbox in my closet until I can find someone to restore it. As for my dad and grandfather's burial flags, I have no idea where those went to and I am in the process of locating them so I can hang them along with my grandfather's medals from WWII up.

Have fun today,

Wow Zimmy.. .you are finding some great stuff. smiles. That is wonderful. Are you going through ancestry.com? I had thought you mentioned that in another post. That is who My Dad went through as well as ordering books and writing letters to different places. My maternal side is Italian. My maternal grandparents (both deceased) were from Sicily, Italy. My (biological) father's side is Scottish and Irish.

You are starting to give Me the bug of wanting to trace My tree now. laughs.

I hope you had a wonderful Sunday and that the start to your week is much the same.

As Always,
Jake
