My children descend from a variety of cultures.

The BRIGHT family relocated from Pennsylvania to the booming riverfront town of Wyandotte, Kansas, shortly after the Civil War.

The MOORE family, of Scots-Irish descent, lived in the upcountry of South Carolina for a hundred years or more.

The THADEN family came from German immigrants and Tennessee Scots-Irish clans.

The NICHOLAS family originated in Tripoli and Beirut, Syria, and lived among a Syrian colony in Jacksonville, Florida.

The HAHN and LUTES families raced for land in the Oklahoma Land Run of 1893 and had been ever on the frontier prior to that time.

The ROMEO and MOTTA families immigrated to this country at the turn of the century from Sicily.

Croon Line Goes Back Further

I googled the name of Gerd Jakobs Thaden and found him linked to a website on FamilyTreeSeeker at http://ged.ge.ohost.de/index.htm?ref=CroonAnna1807 containing the family tree of his wife Anna Helena Croon. I have since written to the submitter, Michael Beuss. I sent him copies of Gerd's birth and death records from the Lutheran Church in Dornum, Germany, and am anxiously awaiting his opinion.
