Hi Ray We have relocated to Pennsylvania, the suburbs of Philadelphia to be precise. My husband is half-American so it's a return for him (though he is not from Pennsylvania). He has been to all but two states (he's missing Alaska and Wyoming) and I have just under half to visit to have the full set of 50. We cannot wait to embark on our first family road trip. The relocation means I can also delve deeper into my Great-Grandfather's life (he emigrated from Shetland to New Jersey) and also do more hands-on exploring of my husband's ancestry. He's a Mayflower descendant so there is lots to explore.
