Roots...

Digging on the web, I found a genealogy line going back 6 generations, back to one of my Great-Great-Great-Great Grandfathers. Born in 1772, J.James Darrach emigrated from Colonsay, Scotland at age 32, settling in Prince Edward Island, Canada. One of his granddaughters left P.E.I. for America (Quincy, MA) around 1847. One of her granddaughters left Quincy for West Virginia, where I was (eventually) born.


I’ve done some genealogy research over the years, but this is the most detailed (and furthest back) information on my European roots Pretty cool, huh?

So, naturally, a photo of roots……
