The older I get the more I wonder about who my ancestors were and where I came from. In a relatively culture free America, I wondered if there are traditions Albert that I identify with the unfathomable down.  Like some Americans my ancestors came from all over the globe. For all intents and purposes I am a European mutt. Even my last name is comprised of two different languages. In all this movement and mixing I have to wonder who I rattling am.

Thankfully I have more than one relative who is mesmerised by genealogy. Several of my aunts have been studying records and building our kinsfolk tree for several decades. Thanks to all of their impact I crapper look back over some generations to see where my kinsfolk came from and how they came to be in America. If you go back far enough you crapper even encounter a United States President in my kinsfolk tree. No crowing intended, of course.
