Today I learned I’m approximately 75% German and 25% French. My third great‑grandfather on my paternal grandmother’s side was French. My paternal grandfather’s family was German, and my maternal side is entirely German. They immigrated to America before World War I. I still can’t find much about my paternal line, but I’m excited by this discovery.

Very interesting! I suppose surnames might hold the key. Your family might have traversed through England on its way to the New Frontier! General Lee’s family home is not far from me.

I did my maternal family’s genealogy long ago. I traced them back to the late 1600s in Germany. Both my maternal and paternal families share similar surnames. One kept the German spelling, the other didn’t.
That’s interesting that you live near General Lee’s family! Thanks for the comment!
