Soooo many things. Most of my father's family are from Gloucestershire in England. I still have 5th cousins living there, and one of them moved HERE! When I was 13 we visited them! We saw the family farm where my great great grandmother Selina Daniel was born, and later taken over by my great great grandfather! We visited the graves of as many of my father's ancestors as we could find. He became quite an anglophile!

Through my mother's side of the family I am connected to 23 of the original Pilgrims who founded Plimoth Colony! AND NOW I actually LIVE in Plymouth, Massachusetts, and the forefather's monument with all their names is right behind my apartment building on a hill! The old granary burial ground is about a mile down the street, where some of them are buried!
