Thread Name: ethnic origins of Mudcatters
Subject: RE: ethnic origins of Mudcatters
It would be really interesting if someone were to do a tally of sorts to give us an idea of origins of "average" catters. Just in case someone does this, some of my ancestors met some of my other ancestors as they made their way West across the USA in the past 300 yrs or so. Give or take, as far as I know, a little under 1/2 Irish, about 1/4 Choctaw with a little Chickasaw in that mix, a sliver of Cherokee, the rest English, Scots & whatnot. Undoubtedly, the ancestors from the British Isles were already somewhat mixed up.         There is still quite a family mystery about the time when my mother was young & an aunt from Switzerland came over to live within the shores of Amerikay. Seems no one can now remember how she was related.
    If anyone takes on the tally project, please be sure to take your graphs & pie-charts with you to help us better understand as you give your radio presentation!
