mother's side- German Jews from a little town somewhere in Germany. I don't think the town much exists anymore after the Holocaust
Also some of them were German but not Jews and fought in the confederate army
Dad's side-
Grandpa
Irish immigrants. Came over a little after the potatoe famine and died in America leaving their son an orphan. He went into the railroad business after living with an aunt in Boston. Yup...Poor Paddy Works on the Railways...
Polish- from Warsaw and Posnon. Came throgh Ellis Island and had their names changed.
Grandma
Her mom-German-THEY'RE AMISH! Hahaha...yup, that's right, I have Amish cousins. Jealous?
Her dad-British-British socialites...one of them was on the Titanic. He survived because he was in first class. I guess we're somehow related to Alice de Janze on that side....some weirdo British socialite. And Thomas Hobbes. And my grandma claimed Joseph of Arimetha, but who knows! Also, they were horse traders during the Revolution, so I'm eligible to join DAR.
