Before The Revolutionary War in the early 1700s both sides of my ancestry came from Ulster Northern Ireland (Protestant) and also from Wales.

They were all iron workers, coal miners and machinists.

Short, stout, huge arms and always ready to fight anybody.

Today these same ancestors are engineers, cooks, drunks, pilots, drug addicts, truck drivers and school teachers.

And none of them know anything at all about their family history or even care...
