Hi Dale, Reading what you wrote makes me even more in awe of my gr-gr-grandparents. Not only did they go to AU from Germany, they went back to Germany and then later on to NY. My Gr-Gr-Grandmother even took a trip round trip from NY to Germany with her second husband.

So long for now, Dale Gough

Hi Bobbi, I feel the same way. My 5th gr. grandfather came to Pa. in 1742. Can you imagine how hard life was at that time. Story has it that there were Indians near their home frequently to the point that they built a house to stay in when the Indians were near. This house had 3 floors, allowing them to store food in the cellar where it was cool & go get it without going outside. It was called an Indian Safe house. The next generation were some of Ohio's first settlers so they carved their land & house out of wilderness. If they could only see how we live today!!
