    Lucinda Lavender: yes actually on my mothers side...
    Lucinda Lavender: from Saxony Poland
    Lucinda Lavender: and Gersheim Germany
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i barely know anything further then my grandparents, i think someone in our family might already traced back more but i was never interested
    Lucinda Lavender: I see:)
    Lucinda Lavender: 1698 is the year...
    Yakuzza Lethecus: through all those databases today it´s getting easier to work on ones ancestry
    Yakuzza Lethecus: wow, that´s a quiet long ancestry :)

    Lucinda Lavender: ah...was once Poland I think
    Lucinda Lavender: I wil do some look one day...
    Yakuzza Lethecus: but gersheim seems to be located close to the french border
    Yakuzza Lethecus: i wonder who was the actual owner back then :)
    Yakuzza Lethecus: of that city
    Lucinda Lavender: looking at the map it is hard for me to locate the frnech border
    Lucinda Lavender: interesting...south of Bonn
    Lucinda Lavender: The ancestor was a colnel in the polish service and a many of fine education it says...his sons came to the new world
    Lucinda Lavender: Some were born in Darstadt
    Lucinda Lavender: Darmstadt
    Yakuzza Lethecus: I always wonder how ppl by that time got the faith to believe that they will actually have a better life in the new world.
    Lucinda Lavender: I think that some of these reletives sought freedom of their religion...
    Lucinda Lavender: they were some of them any way Baptist
    Lucinda Lavender: interesting one was an army contractor in 1776
    --BELL--

    Lucinda Lavender: Some landed at Philadelphia as well
    Lucinda Lavender: Just imagining the time is quite amazing...
    Lucinda Lavender: They were born in Darmstadt
    Yakuzza Lethecus: the pictures in my mind are strongly colored by movies that i´ve seen, i wonder how much of historical imagination is created through that
