Growing up, I would hear about Americans celebrating traditions from other countries and wondered why my family didn’t celebrate anything “foreign”. After many years of genealogical research, I now know that it’s because every line of my family has been here for eight generations or more. By the time I came along, my relatives had long before abandoned any “foreign” traditions or loyalty to another country. We’ve been speaking English a long time!
All of the ancestral lines that I have studied so far arrived on this continent before 1776 though my ancestors from the Nansemond Indian tribe were already here. My DNA is 100% European, but the Native American ancestry did show up in my brother’s DNA.
My earliest immigrant ancestors were mostly English, Dutch, Scottish or Irish; later, many came from Germany, France, or Switzerland. Some were descended from royalty, but I think that is true for most Americans with European ancestry.
I have found over 200 immigrant ancestors. Some of these are proven; others are assumed until documentation is found. As I do my research, the names on this list will change. Genealogy is full of surprises and sometimes long-held assumptions are found to be incorrect. As I continue my research, I hope to learn the answers to these questions:
-
- Why did my immigrant ancestors come here?
- What kind of work did they do?
- What was their religion?
- Were they good citizens?
- How did they die?
- Where did they live?
- What was their family life like?
- How did they contribute to the United States?
- Were they patriots?
- What kind of health problems did they have?
- Were they literate and educated?
- What kind of personality traits did they have?
- What can I learn about them that helps me to better understand myself?
I can see a general pattern already. Most came for religious freedom, whether they were Puritan, Dutch Reformed, Presbyterian, Lutheran, or French Reformed. I have not found any who were Catholic. Most were literate and valued education. Many were leaders in their communities and were involved in the affairs of the day. Though almost everyone in the 17th and 18th centuries had to do some farming, my ancestry also includes sheriffs, elected officials, judges, preachers, tanners, ship captains, plantation owners, soldiers, millers, merchants, innkeepers, road builders, teachers, wheelwrights, surveyors, coopers, weavers, doctors, and lawyers. Almost all of my immigrant ancestors were involved in their churches and seemingly had healthy family relationships. A few were wealthy, but most were not. They must have had an adventurous spirit and a lot of faith to make that long, dangerous trip across the Atlantic. I feel blessed that these immigrants laid such a solid foundation for me and for those who come after me.
This list is not static. It will be updated from time to time to make corrections or additions.
