My lineage is:
Dad’s side -
His Dad - Scot & probably English (she was a Hatfield)
His mom’s side - German & Dutch

Mom’s side -
English - her father’s side
Not positive about mother’s side, but English, I believe. Have heard Jacobean stories - would that be Scot? But that side had been here in the states for a very long time.

Jacobean is a period in English history "Style in the arts, influential upon architecture and furniture as well as literature, during the reign of James I (1603–25) in England."

I love doing my genealogy research. I have found out that one of my ancestors was Chaucer. Now, I know why I enjoyed reading his stuff in high school. Now, that my hand is getting better, I am going to start back. It still hurts when I use it a lot but that is to be expected. Another ancestor is the Empress of Russia. My late husband use to tell me if if went back far enough I would be related to anyone way back then.

So far, I have ancestors from Russia, France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Indian. That Indian ancestor is giving me lots more trouble than any of the others. My cousin's wife has spent about 20 years trying to find out which tribe she was from but no luck. She was raised by a white family in MS. It is amazing the kind of information on the internet. I never would have been able to find all of this info without it.

“His Dad - Scot & probably English (she was a Hatfield)”

This just caught my eye as I was going back through the thread.

I was born a Hatfield!
