Title: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: ?????????? on November 30, 2004, 01:07:05 AM Choose 2 options. One for your mothers side and one for your fathers side. For me :
Mother side : 1600-1650 Fathers side : 1851-1899 Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: qwerty on November 30, 2004, 01:10:45 AM Mother's side: 1900-1950 (1925 from Italy)
Father's side: 1951-1999 (1979 from Egypt) Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: Erc on November 30, 2004, 01:15:36 AM Maternal Grandmother's: late 1890's/early 1900's
Maternal Grandfather's: Southerners. Definitely around since before 1800 [there's some Cherokee blood in there too] Paternal Grandmother's: 1880's springs to mind. Paternal Grandfather's: Southerners. Definitely before 1790. Earliest recorded: 1660's. [1650-1700, 1850-1900] Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: Josh/Devilman88 on November 30, 2004, 01:26:45 AM I really don't know but I think around the same time as states' family did.
Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: ?????????? on November 30, 2004, 01:28:20 AM My wifes family has my mothers side beat. Her ancestors came over in 1609 and settled around the Jamestown area, originally.

Her ancestors came over in 1609 and settled around the Jamestown area, originally. See you know more about your family. I been trying to find out, but I don't know how. See my Great Grandfather would never tell anyone about where we came from so we just have to go by family trees and stuff like that. But they say our family started our in Isarel(however you spell it) and then traveled to Scottland and Irland then to American... Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: Lunar on November 30, 2004, 03:03:27 AM Mother's side: 1900-1950 (from Ireland)
Father's side: No clue. Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: minionofmidas on November 30, 2004, 03:34:28 AM To the USA: Never.
To Germany: Probably B.C., except for someone from what is now Poland 5 generations back and someone from the Netherlands, like, 10 generations back (my father's mother's maiden name is Dutch though) To Frankfurt: Father in 1974. Mother's side...er...mother's mother's side 1910, mother's father's side mostly 1870s and 80s, but in one direction lost in the mists of time. Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: Bugs on November 30, 2004, 02:37:25 PM Mom's side, probably late 1700's. Similar for Dad's side. There is possibly some relationship to U. S. Grant's 1868 opponent Horatio Seymour, since the name is the same and he grew up in the same part of the country, though I've never looked into it.

Dad's Side: England 1601-1650 (fled to Canada 1751-1800, returning 1851-1900) [They were on the losing side of that overenthusiastic tax protest commonly called the American Revolution.] Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: J. J. on November 30, 2004, 09:30:13 PM My maternal grandfather was born in south of France; maternal granmother's parents were from the Paris area.
My father's family first entered Caucasian history c. 1750 but was here since glaciation, c. 11,000 BC. Various women from families that came here in the 1750's, 1760's, and 1850's, married into it during the last three centuries. Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: ?????????? on December 01, 2004, 01:40:15 AM Anyone here know if their family came over the on the Mayflower? Or perhaps with John Smith and settled Jamestown? I know Migrendel says he is a member of the "Mayflower Families" as they are called. If you dont know you really should research your family as I have done. You can really find some interesting things.

I'm Dutch. My family from my father's side is all Dutch as far as I know, although my grandmother's maiden name could be traced back in her familytree to a man who immigrated from what was then Germany and now Poland to Holland in the 17th or 18th century (don't know it exactly, I haven't seen the book with the family tree in years). My family from my mother's side comes from a village only 15 kms (about 10 miles ;-) ) from the German border, and my greatgrandmother was born even closer to the border, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of my ancestors originated from Germany (or Prussia as some older people in that region still call it :-) ).

Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: Beefalow and the Consumer on December 13, 2004, 10:49:49 PM Chose:
Mother: 1700-1750 Father: 1800-1850 But I could pretty much check the pre-1492 AND every box from 1600 through 1950, because I have ancestors who came here during all of those periods: Native Americans Early New-England Colonists Late Colonial Southern Scotts-Irish Southern Ante-bellum Jews (yes, they really existed). Scandanavian, c. 1870 My Jewish grandmother, who escaped Nazi Germany for America in 1936. Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: Beefalow and the Consumer on December 14, 2004, 11:29:41 PM Anyone here know if their family came over the on the Mayflower? Or perhaps with John Smith and settled Jamestown? I know Migrendel says he is a member of the "Mayflower Families" as they are called. If you dont know you really should research your family as I have done. You can really find some interesting things. I once went out with a girl who was a direct descendant of Roger Williams (Founder of Rhode Island Colony). My great grandmother is a Hale - direct descendant of Nathan Hale's brother. So I know I go back to colonial times in some parts of my mom's family. There are rumors in the family that we have some Mayflower lineage, but I find it unlikely. It doesn't help that we have no contact with my maternal grandfather's family whatsoever. And the fact that when my grandfather was born, his father was 57, kind of messes up our link to past generations. If anyone knows anything about a Steven Grant Forbes, born 1865 to a John Wesley Forbes, I would be quite grateful. Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.?

Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: 12th Doctor on December 15, 2004, 01:45:32 AM Well, with my mothers side, the Germans came over in the 1680's-1720's. The Irish 1820's-1840's. And I don't know my real father, so it is hard to say there. I don't count that side of my family anyway.
Title: Re: In what century did you ancestors immigrate to the U.S.? Post by: bgwah on December 25, 2004, 02:01:04 AM Heh, I bet there are hundreds of people who have the same ancestors who were among the earlier colonists!
On my dads side, if I follow my last name, they moved here in 1727, to North Carolina (although may have briefly been in Pennsylvania). My moms side, I don't know. I think mid-late 1800's is most likely, so I'll go with them. I don't know very much about my mom's family. I think they moved to Montana. As for Washington, I suppose I'm a little Yakima Indian (not much...), so going that way my familys been in Washington for probably thousands of years? My first white ancestors didn't move here until 1853. The first ones with my last name moved here before 1899 but I don't know the exact year. |
