I started out thinking I was a product of a nondescript mongrel American family but discovered my Colonial roots go back to the first decades of the 1600s with ancestral connections to many of the original New England settlers. My abolitionist heritage is surprising, with connections to John Brown among many others. Genealogy is a great hobby.
