Was a Captain in the Northern Army out of Kansas during the Civil War. When he returned from the war he got married and had 5 children I believe and then my grandfather had 5 children, one of which was my father who was the 2nd oldest and valedictorian of His High School Class in Lake Forest Park near Seattle Washington.
I was able to trace my father's family line all the way back to the 1500s in Switzerland and most families had 5 to 10 kids each ever since the 1500s until my Grandfather. After this two kids was the most any of his kids each had from about the 1930s to about the 1970s. I've had 3 kids and so has one of my cousins biologically. (I have two step kids and two God Daughters too). Six brothers around the 1720s went first to Germany and then to England and then to the U.S. around this time by ship and landed in Philadelphia harbor then. Then relatives of mine settled lands both east and west of there until my grandfather met his wife in Texas and eventually moved to the Seattle Area where he bought 2 1/2 acres of land in Lake Forest Park and lived there from about 1927 to around 1969 to 1970.
