Following lineages is pretty cool. Mine are both English by way of Virginia in the late 1600s and you can progressively see the generations move farther West through the Carolinas and Georgia until settling in West Alabama in the mid-1800s.

Its incredible to think how many Americans who come from 1700/1800 settlers are related in some way or another.

It also always make me realize how young a country it is.

Pretty similar to my mother’s side. My father’s side came through the Carolinas from Scotland. My grandfather graduated from Alabama in 1888. His younger brother played on Alabama’s very first football team. Both moved to Louisiana in the late 19th century. But I’m a Tiger.
