Immigration

Immigrants
I consider immigration to be a large part of the American narrative. I have long wanted to put together a list of my known immigrant ancestors, the date of their immigration, and the ship they arrived on. However, once I started building this table, I realized it’s a lot of people! Including the sources will double, or triple, the table size. Therefore, for anyone who would like a source citation for a particular individual, please feel free to contact me. And, for now, I am just posting my paternal ancestors. I’ll come back later for the maternal side, or do a separate post for them.

Conclusion
I have previously noted that I have not yet identified ALL my immigrant ancestors. But, I have identified about 150. Most of my immigrant ancestors are in the range of 6th to 10th great grandparents. We all have 1,024 8th great-grandparents, less any consanguineous marriages. That’s a lot of ancestors to trace, it will take time. This post is just the 62, or so, of my known paternal immigrant ancestors. So, the next table I build will be even bigger, stay tuned!
