Around about 180 years ago, give or take, a young blacksmith named Jeremiah left his home village of Innishannon in County Cork, Ireland and boarded a ship, probably in Dublin. After a long sea voyage, Jeremiah reached the United States and found himself in Georgia, where he set up shop for himself, blacksmithing as he had back in Ireland. Eventually Jeremiah married and had kids, including a son, William Arthur.
William would move to Texas at some point. His wife Atha Caroline would give birth to several children, including a son named Miles Henry.
Miles would marry twice. His first wife, Rose Lee, would die young, but not before giving birth to a son, Fred Carlton.
Fred would grow up to be a farmer in Crosbyton, Texas. He would marry Mattie Dura Potter and before his death they would have three children together: Fred Carlton, Margie Dean and Henry Allen.
Allen (nobody who knew him called him "Henry") and his wife Gay would have four children including my sister and me...
The crazy guy who's learning to be a blacksmith like my great, great, great grandfather Jeremiah.
My wife occasionally does some genealogy research. She's the first one to actually trace one my my ancestors back to an actual location in Europe.
