In my last visit to my dad we talked about people on his side of the family. Here’s the story;
My Dad’s grandparents were both German. They left Germany after WWII and went to Chicago. There they worked as a butler and a maid for a rich family. Then they moved to New Jersey where my great-grandfather started his own landscaping business. My Dad’s dad was born in New Jersey where he met my (soon-to-be) grandmother. Before they were married, my great-grandfather moved his family to Pheonix. The Air Conditioner was just starting to boom and my great-grandfather wanted part, also they moved for health reasons. My grandfather (still not married) moved back to New Jersey when he was only 15 to be with my grandmother. When she was of a legal age to get married (18), they wed. He was 20. My Dad (the oldest) and his first brother and sister were born in New Jersey. They all moved to Massachusettes when my dad was only 11 (1969). They then had a second daughter.
All I know from here is that my Mother is also for Mass and that’s where they met. They were both in the military so I was born in Fort Riley, Ks.
My Grandfather was full German and my Grandmother was 3/4 English and 1/4 Welch.
So now I know half of my descent!
