Were your adoptive grandparents able to share any information with you regarding how they came about getting your daddy? Maybe there is some clue, even a tiny one (like the name/place of the adoption agency they used), that could set you on course to finding your daddy's biological roots. <br /><br />I think that it is great that your family has been in the US since before it was officially the US. We were, too. Some of our people were there to greet the Pilgrims as they came over. Does studying your family history make this country's history even more exciting to you? It does for me.<br /><br />Thank you for stopping by and commenting.

I am glad tha...Thank you for reading my R post. :)<br /><br />I am glad that you were able to go far on your daddy's side and hope that somehow you'll be able to unlock some more on your mama's side, too. It does make it difficult when it seems an entire community shares a surname, or when those with the same surname give all of their children the same first names. If you've ever seen the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" you know what I mean. All of the children on that movie were named Anita, Dianne, and Nick. Couple that with a common surname, and it might never get sorted out.<br /><br />I am up against that somewhat with my paternal-maternal line and my husband's paternal-maternal line. Both of our grandmothers had the maiden name Fowler, both born in Anderson County, SC. They have to be connected somehow, but I haven't found that connection yet.<br /><br />Best wishes to you as you try to knock another brick or two from your brick wall. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. Have a great week!<br /><br />Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-20733430797571365172013-04-21T15:36:23.888-05:002013-04-21T15:36:23.888-05:00Just three grandparents.

My maternal grandfather's ancestors came to the U.S. a very long time -- not long after the pilgrims. I also know that I'm a mix of many different nationalities. But that's about it. :)<br /><br />#atozchallenge, Kristen's blog: <a href="http://kristenhead.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">kristenhead.blogspot.com</a>Kristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08827651632884248765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-9372307965178479642013-04-21T02:11:50.756-05:002013-04-21T02:11:50.756-05:00This is a good subject for me, you see my Great Gr...This is a good subject for me, you see my Great Grandmother on my maternal side had the same maiden name as my married name, I traced her father and mother but couldn't get any further because Lewis in the area my great,great grandfather was born was a common name as was his christian name, I would love to go back further.<br />I did well on my father's side though.<br />Thanks for doing this for R post.<br />Yvonne.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-70230938829763881142013-04-20T19:59:52.412-05:002013-04-20T19:59:52.412-05:00Thank you!
