My mom's family came to Minnesota from Clinton County, NY. Just think, if they hadn't, I might have been a New Yorker. God forbid! This family settled in southern Minnesota in a little town called Guilford near Zumbro Falls. Like you, I've been to all the graveyards and read their histories. Fascinating stuff. Such a simple life back then. My great-great-grandmother had 13 kids, and during the Civil War (while she kept the home fires burning) two sons, a son-in-law and her brother went off to fight. Thankfully, they all made it home, some injured. Can you imagine it? And she was pregnany at the time with her 13th child, my great-grandfather. <br /><br />Love history, absolutely love it!<br />Kat Bryan<br />http://katskwipsandrants.blogspot.com<br /><br />FOLLOW MY BLOG!WELCOME TO KAT'S BLOG!https://www.blogger.com/profile/11960489451115144710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691858780482062484.post-23224675591260416582009-04-29T19:55:00.000-07:002009-04-29T19:55:00.000-07:00Golly, Gee ...

My best story is that my dad and I took off to Italy to explore the tiny town where my relatives were from. Oh so much fun!

GX10 or so, grandfather was President of the Republic of Bern(Switzerland). A g-g-grandfather was married to a 40-year-old when he was around 94! I think it was his 4th or 5th marriage. <br /><br />I've met several distant cousins through research, all across this country and even Germany. <br /><br />Genealogy is one reason I wrote my series, "Cynthia's Attic" that allowed me (MC) to travel back in time and have adventures with ancestors. <br /><br />Mary<br />http://www.cynthiasattic.blogspot.com<br />http://www.marycunninghambooks.comMary Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377529303481858837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3691858780482062484.post-68522625520555283382009-04-29T07:57:00.000-07:002009-04-29T07:57:00.000-07:00I've never truly researched it, Tee, but I know so...I've never truly researched it, Tee, but I know some family stories. My dad's grandfather lived to be over 100; at 98, he was arrested for inciting a riot and burning down my dad's high school (it was over desegregation and no, Granddad wasn't for it). On my mom's side, my great aunt was a call girl who killed one of her husbands with a butcher knife. Her daughter inherited the family business, altho she didn't kill anyone. With a family like this, do I really want to dig any deeper?<br /><br />Gayle<br />http://gaylecarline.blogspot.comGayle Carlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783449240138097315noreply@blogger.com
