Your American Story

One of my father's mother's ancestors was a member of the Pennsylvania Legislature during the Revolutionary War; and my father's paternal grandfather's father fought in the Civil War (for the Union).

My mother's father's family came to the US in the 1880's from Wales. We don't know much about her mother's family; except that her grandfather (mother's father) owned a saloon in Yakima WA. He also had a pet bear that he kept chained-up outside the saloon to attract customers.
