Very interesting, Ray. My father's family also came from England...but I'm not sure of where. Some of my distant relatives have traced it back and have visited every city the family lived in, including England, Vermont and I think New Hampshire. I will try to find out exactly where...maybe our families came from the same place :-)

We have been unable to trace my maternal side, unfortunately. Mom was adopted by an aunt and uncle when she was only 9 months old. Her mother died in the Spanish Flu epidemic around Detroit in 1919. We know her father was French Canadian...but have no information on where he was born, to my knowledge. Again, I didn't do all this...but other family members have.

When I win the lotto, I hope to travel to England to see the place my father's family came from. :-)
