South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I've gotten back 6 generations to Robert King III of Ireland. I know he fought in the revolutionary war... About all I know about him

 

Not to go into too much detail on the internet, but my family was recently introduced to a long lost close relative who traced his roots with the help of genealogy websites and other means. Pretty cool.

 

My dad’s mom I can go back to 1200’s to Germany. Max and his son came over mid 1800’s to Hickory, NC. During WWII the name changed from Hoffman to Huffman to try to avoid persecution.

Dad’s father is Graham of Menteith in Scotland. Can’t get the parents to Walter who came over to Portsmouth. Dad wrote Edinburgh to try and get some info. Gave us a Scandinavian name before we settled Scotland, which we were from Denmark. This DNA actually is middle eastern, and according to a group wanting to study dad’s DNA from Israel we are from Aaron brother of Moses from what info they gave us...

 

I’ve got an Uncle named Bob.

 

Dude, me too!

 

I’ve got an dad named Bob, uncle named Mike, & brother in laws named Mike, Todd, Pablo, & Visha.

 

Are we cousins?

 

My dad has 2 uncle Tony's, on same side of fam

 

That makes it kissing cousins

 

I ain’t kissin any cousins, even she was Miss South Carolina.

 

Me too!

 

Whats up yall! My sidekick arrives tomorrow morning! Shana didnt like that I set up the car seat in the truck and said that Sat I needed to take him out on the trails! haha

 

Might as well get 'em started early!

 

My mom's side of the family kept very close and good documentation of our family history from both her mom and dad. Pretty cool we have a family tree, documents from when people came here and what ships they were on and where they landed. Have several books written at different times about our lineage. Rare to have that kind of thing but they felt it important. We have some photographs from back in the 1800s too. One in particular is cool since it shows 4 generations in it and my great grandmother was the baby at 1 yr old it was taken in 1897 in Winston Salem, NC.

 

More importantly do you have an Uncle Bob too?

 

Not really sure how. But on dads side we are related to the guy who started the TN walking houses.

Moms side pretty much all came from Poland and Germany. thru Ellis island and some how ended up near buffalo NY.

 

Hmmmmmm I'd have to check one may be deceased. My cousin was married to a Bob but he was a dick so no longer does that count?

 

Nope that’s cousin Bob
