5. My tree?
Sun Sep 9, 2018, 01:32 PM
Sep 2018

Well my tree has what I thought were plenty of ?????'s being I never knew (only guessed) who Mother was. My guess was right!

As far as my father goes, it was never a ????. However, it was his MOTHER (grandma) that was supposed to be GERMAN.

She was in fact a mixture of things it seems.

Frankly, I had long believed she was Polish as the surname I have for her grandfather is one that I've yet to find anywhere. It could be Slavic, Russian or Polish. It seems that my grandmother was a mixture of all three as they add up to 25% which is from my father. He was 50/50 (Irish and ... what we thought was GERMAN). Hmph!!
