First, my German side, NO Grandma, Dave Thomas (Wendy's) did not marry into the family, He & Ralph (your 1st cuz'n) were business partners, along with Gov. Jim Rhoads. (also bussiness partners). I can also tell you, when your grandfather Schweitzer arrived with the complete family (1st class) in America ( He sold the brick factory in Stuttgard), he died year half later, Margreth married again. Gramdma, I know who has the trunk that carried all the money arcross the sea !! Grandpa, I can name your great-aunt (Kathyrn) That was pulling out her hair, as her parents & 2 younger sisters were in the wagon going to the Americas. She could not go because The much older sister ( Barbara) had sold the money from her & she (Barabara) was the 1st to get to America with husband. Kathryn, finally did make it to America. Your Grandfather Girand was not French, but German. Found his cemetary plot, couldn't read it, the stone fell over, covered in moss, went to a gas station purchesed bottled vingar & tooth brush. Yes, now it still looks good . 15 yrs later it still reads in German. LOL Second, my Colonial America Mamaw, Did you know one your grandfather's was an Indian chief "Red Bird"? (Brock) I always knew you were Indian Blood. Dark brown eyes, coal black hair, high cheek bones. And yes, I found your sister-in-law that was shot & killed, as an innocnet by stander in bloody Harlen Ky wars. Papaw. Yes you are a Boone, but not Daniel's sister. Still searching, you have many, many , many cousins still looken. Have talked to Clark's brother (Newton) granddaus. Must have been some problem there. Something abt marring across the tracks. Nice girls, good people. Found more 2 generations back on your Shoemaker side. Yep, you were right, your Williams is from Wales. Your grandson Johnny took the DNA test. MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH< Vic
