I want to get a professional geneologist to look some things up, but I don't see why putting this online is going to hurt. Fr. Joachim even asked me for a lock of my hair, or suggested I give one to Ansgar, I can't remember which, and I'm about 90% sure about this but not 100%. I just remember thinking it was odd and WHY did they want my hair? I never gave them my hair.
Anyway, I already told the monks from Mt. Angel Abbey what my lineage was, or what I knew, and I told that friend too. My family has more surnames than I can recall, but...
My Mother:
Dicksie Dael Baird
Mother's Mother:
Beverly Constance Breigenzer (luxembourg)
Mother's Mother's Mother:
______ Wooten (English)
Mother's Mother's Father:
Henry Michael Breigenzer (luxembourg--refused to be called "german" & spoke Luxembourgish as first language in home, also had some French if I remember correctly. Has a pin or medal of some kind pinned to his lapel in a photo but no one can make out what it is. It almost looks like a military pin or for some organization)
Mother's Father:
Roland Baird (scottish)
Mother's Father's Father:
? Baird (have it, just don't remember)
My Father:
Robert Guy Garrett II
My Father's Mother:
Dolores Marie Davis (english and welsh?)
(some of her family is Davis and the rest are Suttons (english))
My Father's Father:
Robert Guy Garrett I (english & french)
My Father's Father's Mother:
(my "Nana") Ruth ____________ (have it but can't remember)
My Father's Father's Father:
Lebius Guy Garrett (english & french. Nana told me that for years she'd
thought the Garrett's were Irish and English but she found out late that they
were mainly French and English. I remember telling Fr. Joachim we were Irish
because I was told the Garrett's came over during the Potato famine but later,
I was told the other thing, and so I don't know it this still true.)
The guy who was Jewish had the surname "Prince". It's online
somewhere, as my aunt did part of the Garrett genealogy.
Cameo, I am your Grandma Garrett's nephew so we are Cousins. Simon Prince and ALL the Prince's were Not Jewish. They were in fact English.
ReplyDeleteI am Thomas James Davis the son of David who is your Grandma Gattett's sister.
Love you
