And they came to the same areas for the farmland. And they intermarried. My Scottish ancesters first imagrated to Canada and then a few years later settled in Ohio. Some married Germans then, and some a generation later. In the small town where I lived most of the people were German with a sprinkling of Scots and English. I wish I could hop into a time machine and visit that period.Anne Greenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07033138385514434006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-68932842103744775222013-04-15T16:48:08.525-04:002013-04-15T16:48:08.525-04:00Hi Janice, It's good to meet you here.

I totally love history. But, like you, when I was in school history was taught in a most uninteresting way. I admire you for homeschooling your son.

I only remember one reunion when I was small and barely knew what was happening. But I do remember my older sister and I were the only blonde children among lots of red heads.

I think in so doing he has chosen to use his time going wide and not deep. He wants to keep updated to add new additions to the family, and he works with that more than looking to see who came over from where.<br /><br />Please enter me in the contest. Thank you for how you are making history interesting. History was my worst subject in school. Through homeschooling our son I came to find joy in it, but have never been able to have the time to make up for what I missed as a young student.<br /><br />Blessings, JaniceG jsmithg(at)hotmail(dot)comJanicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03998919198384720082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-11466367674068848552013-04-15T10:01:00.594-04:002013-04-15T10:01:00.594-04:00I am half-Irish, one-fourth Norwegian and one-four...I am half-Irish, one-fourth Norwegian and one-fourth German. My paternal Irish grandmother and maternal German grandfather died before I was born. I vaguely remember my Irish grandpa Joe. He had a little sleeping trailer on my Uncle's property. My mother died when I was five and I did not see my maternal Norwegian grandmother until I was 17 and visiting from out of state. My cousins have yearly reunions on the Irish side, and alternate years on the Norwegian side. Loving, inviting people!
