Lucky you to be able to back so many generations. On my father’s side I can only back to my Great Grandfather, on his mothers side I can go back to a Great Great Grandfather, and in my mothers side of the family I can go back to early 1700’s on one side and mid 1800’s on the other. Even with that I don’t have anywhere near as interesting stories as yours, or perhaps I do and that is why I wrote so much about them. Founding fathers, businessmen, convicts, land owners, gold miners, local community advancement, there certainly were plenty of newspaper articles about them. Loving your stories, you know how to make them so readable
I cannot imagine a family genealogist. I know very little about my ancestors beyond 200 years. Is this a cultural difference or simply my family heritage? Great read!
