Was your Great x 3 Grandfather in the 7 Inf. Reg., or maybe the 69th? I didn't know you had NYC roots. My family didn't get to Brooklyn until 1910. Technically I am only 2nd generation American.

I had the information when I was huge into genealogy about 2000-2002 or so. Might have been the 7th, that sounds familiar, but I just can't remember.

I have a lot of family around Bath, NY, that I've only met once many years ago, on my granddad's side. When I was born my mom lived with my grandparents and they all moved to N. VA about three months after I came along.

I lived just a few miles from Manassas growing up, too. Never went there. :( Moved to San Antonio in 1979 or so.

Never heard of Bath, NY...but I see on a map that it is about 250 miles from where I'm sitting...God's country.

^I know you don't really mean that, MD.  ;D

Seriously though, this has become a very interesting thread.

[BanzaiCat]

We can probably string it along for a little while longer.

[bob48]

Give you enough rope............

[BanzaiCat]

That certainly would tie everything together. I'm knot sure MetalDog would appreciate it, though.

[GDS_Starfury]

it keeps him in stiches.

[bob48]

I bet he's tongue tied now.

[BanzaiCat]

He can't hang with these puns anyway.

[GDS_Starfury]

since the stories of our forefathers have tied us together lets not get to funny.

[ComradeP]

It's a rope-a-dope, MetalDog will lash some punishment together soon.

Thanks for the link Keunert, some unique photographs there.

[bob48]
