     I'm part German from my father's side of the family. My father's fraternal Grandmother's, grandparents came from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina. They owned a very big plantation before the Civil War and when the war ended ,they lost everything.

     They came through the port at Port Smith ,Virginia. Then they moved to North Carolina and stayed there. If it hadn't been for the Civil War, I could be living the really good life. Then again if I was living the good life, then I never would have gotten the friends I have now. Then a relative named Stephen and two or three of his relatives surrendered with Robert E. Lee at Apparatuses Court house in Virginia and walked all the way back to Georgia.

    Unfortunately, I don't know were anybody came from or anything, because no one kept a record of my father's side of history. Although my Uncle Charley has been trying for years to figure out where everyone came from, when they came over, where they came over, and many other things. There would be more information if my family had keep records, but like I told you no one did, so this is my father's family.
