Hi All, An interesting article reached my mailbox from About.com & I thought I'd share the link for those who might be interested. Move over Columbus - the Ancient Romans got there first! So it was the sailors of Imperial Roman fleet who may have been the first to reach the New World! Back in 200 AD. http://royalty.about.com/medianews/royalty/library/weekly/aa021400a.htm Sincerely, Sharon Lantzy Wygant SSchu22739@aol.com Surnames: Anderson, Hasselor, Kingston, Lamer (Leamer, Lehmer), Lantzy (Lenzi), McAnulty,McCullough, McLane (McLain,McLean, McLene), O'Cain Patton, Robertson/Robinson, Shankle, Simpson, Sitter, Steen, Stuchell, Thompson (Thomson), White, Wygant.
