My great-great-great grandfather came over from Germany in 1870. I'm not sure he did it legally so I volunteer to go back
I dont have anything thst recent sadly, latest ancestor came over in the 1820s second most recent was the 1620s oldest was the 1540s. My ancestors damned me with their early arrival.
I did find out we're direct descendants of Myles Standish, which i thought was pretty cool. Then I was told there's about 5 million of us
Hhey at least your ancestors weren't idiots who seemed to be destined to half exterminate themselves. Nearly 500 years and probably a thousand of us total from what I can put together, records reflect this lots of young men and women dying in their teens and 20s.
The way things were back then, we're probably related. What's up Cuz?
Weirdly enough possibly not from that branch, they were still bitter about the Normans taking the Ulster throne from them English expansion into Ireland didnt help. They wouldve probably murdered an Englishman in cold blood if they had to interact with them. Most of their supplies went through Spanish sources organized by the Jesuits whose mission they were... Mercs? Guards? Designated assholes? Dont know what youd call them, point is the first Englishman that they married was about 80 years ago.
Pro-tip: Report yourself to ICE as a [insert country you want to live in], and you live there now!
