In my case, most lived a quiet existence, struggling to make a living and at times dealing with tragedy. Some would call it a ho-hum life. I understand that existence, but I've also tasted some of the grandeur of life and what is available for those who have the courage to work for it.
Then there are those scoundrels or Low-life abusers and cheaters. These add flavor to our history. Some we can laugh at and some we find disgusting. But in the end, we have to say they are ours and try and make sense of their world.
My maternal and paternal lines have a slightly different story to tell. Most of my maternal ancestors lived in the Northern half of the United States and my Paternal ancestors hailed from the southern states.
In the posts to come, I will tell some of their stories.
