Hi Everyone! I hope you had a good Flag Day, yesterday. Sorry I sent this tonight, instead of this morning! In honor of this occasion, here are a couple of questions for you: Have you found an ancestor who fought in the American Revolution? How many countries' flags hang in your tree? Do you have a special flag in your family's possession? What is the story behind it? Wishing you success in your research, Valorie PS: My answers: 1) Maybe. 2) The flags of the USA, Canada, Scotland, Sweden, and Ostfriesland, in northern Germany. There may be more, but I haven't proven it. 3) Yes, we have a silk flag of the Rising Sun from Japan, that my father brought back from the Second World War. His last posting, as an Army medic, was in Sapporo, on Hokkaido, in Japan.
