Thread Name: American ancestry
Subject: RE: American ancestry
According to my family's history book, I am "9th generation son of Johann", one of 3 Austrian brothers that hopped the pond a bit ago. Along my Pa's side, the Austrian went outside their community about 4 generations ago, leaving a few generations of mixed Austrian-Nez Perce indian folk, me included(1/16th). Ma's side were the Squareheads...new family, straight off the Scandanavian halibut schooner. It just doesn't get squarer than "Skoog" for a family name. So no, none of the isles in me.
