Re:Genealogy - 2007/12/22 17:46 It's funny that you began a thread on genealogy. I had always taken for granted that everyone knew their lineage. Not until I came back to college in my thirties did it ever occur to me that so many people haven't a clue after their grandparents. Once I was back in school, I met many international students; Irish, Asian, African, Slavic.... that for one reason or another were forced to leave their homeland and moved. For me, it's called [i]stepping out of your comfort zone[/i]. I did not realize how little I knew about people not like me until that time.

I am in Massachusetts for the holidays with my sis Julie as some of you know. Our mother's family settled here in Medfield, MA in 1636 and our genealogy on that side of the family has been tracked back to Eric the Red.

Now Dad's side of the family are "newbies" in comparison. The Braschlers came to the U.S. from Switzerland in 1860 to Texas. We hail from the tribe of German Braschlers, not the French. In fact, I still keep in contact with our Swiss relatives. It gives me a chance to brush up on my German.

Re:Genealogy - 2007/12/26 20:31 Is the Swiss related to the more cow bells?
Do you speak Swiss- German? (mind you, I think the two are an oxymoron.)
