WHERE DO WE COME FROM?
WHERE DO WE COME FROM?
Let me start with a disclaimer. We don’t know where ALL of our ancestors sailed from. Sometimes the records have been lost, sometimes they haven’t been digitized yet, and sometimes we aren’t even sure who the ancestor was, because we hit a brick wall before we ever get back that far. But, the exciting part, is that we have identified SOME of our immigrant ancestors.
What is interesting is that the Day Family has deep roots in this country that go back nearly four centuries to 1628: Ancestors from England, Wales, Ireland and Germany.
On the North side of the family, we found some English and Irish roots that date way back. We knew about the immigrants from Bohemia who settled in Nebraska.
