re: #192 HappyWarrior

Pretty much Europe to Western Pennsylvania to Virginia here. Though we do have one branch that stated in Cleveland. My Dad’s grandmother was born there but the family left when she was young but her mother’s siblings
descendants remained in the area. Met one of them via DNA testing. She can see a resemblance between her grandmother who she knew very well and my dad’s grandmother who died young. Unfortunately no photos of their father and mother respectively who were born in Glasgow to Irish parents from Fermanagh.

All similar background: My maternal grandmother was sent from Croatia to Cleveland to marry some fellow they fixed her up with.

My paternal granddad and grandma came from the Hapsburg Empire as well, he from Slovakia, she from Bohemia, and they met and married in Iowa

Both families later moved to Gary, Indiana, where my parents met and married.
