Introduction

When I was growing up, I was told that my family tree consisted of my grandmother, my 2 grandfathers and my maternal uncle and paternal uncle. My paternal grandmother had died when my father was  young, and he had very few memories to share.

About ten years ago, I began a journey to find out an ancestry that had been almost lost. Definitely I am as full blooded American as any other girl born and raised in the USA. but As I turn 60, I pause to remember the European roots I now am aware of, and a full understanding that history is not only written by the winners, It is simplified and bent to the public it is informing.  So I have set out to find flesh and blood people that will give a more accurate account of the lineage and culture  of my 4 Grandparents, so that my descendants have a greater understanding of who they are and how they fit into the puzzle of humanity.

The search has  been to find the family tree and cultural roots of these four individuals (grandparents now deceased)
