To all Skraelings, Saxons, Celts, Slavs, and other prey of those from the land of the ice and snow!!
My Great Grandpa was Christopher Merchant. He came to the US in the early 1900's. He was a silversmith. He lived out in Vermont-and moved to Michigan.
My Grandpa Merchant left his wife, 4 sons and 3 daughters and a grandson and moved up north with an Indian women. Just before I was born.
And my Dad...who married a crazy NYC woman while he was in the Navy-and Ta Da! Here I am!
Since we got married Kristi has been working on my family tree (mum's side only, I told her I do not want my dad's side). So far she has worked out around 2400 relatives and ancestors.
Happy birthday to Big John Cannon from The High Chaparral! :wink:
