Your American Story

My Great grandfather Michael (x many gens back) and his brother came over in 1755. They settled in Kentucky and my uncle Nathaniel became best buds with Daniel Boone- there is even a place called Nat's Creek named after him. It was a family tradition on his side to name sons after Daniel, which they still do to this day. My grandpa fought in the Revolution, and was at Valley Forge during that terrible winter. (Eric's grandpa was there as well).

On the French-Canuckien side, we are second generation Americans. My grandfather and a few of his siblings came down from Quebec and settled in Michigan, Minnesota and New York around the turn of the last century. Their family name is one of the oldest in Quebec, and they are supposed to be descended from one of the founders of Quebec.
