Who Are These People?

Reply in the comments, or send me a message in Facebook, or email me at msonewaybaja@aol.com. ******************************************************************************** Picture #1: Cousins.

Our Immigration Timeline

The below image shows when each of my ancestors immigrated to the United States.  3 generations ago, 4 of my great-grandparents made the journey across the sea coming from Finland (1903), Norway (1916), and Germany (1882 and 1895). One from each branch of my tree. 4 generations prior was the mass migration that formed my American family tree branches. On my paternal line, ancestors came from Scandinavia (1874 Sweden, 1872 Finland, and 1866 & 1889 Norway). From my maternal line, they all came from Germany (1867, 1875 and 1884). My earliest US ancestors came 5 generations before me and were my Ahrendt 2x great-grandparents, who traveled to New York together in 1855 from Germany.
