It turns out I am the all American Mutt!! I am of the typical European 
Descent.  And you know the more I find out the prouder I am of my roots.  
I have Danish roots, Neilson`s who came from Jutland around 1880.  My Rowe`s 
I`ve traced back as far as Somerset County, Maine.  My great great grandfather 
Alden Rowe brought his wife, and first children in a covered wagon to 
California to mine for gold.  Dutch roots are the Vanatta`s who came to 
America when New York was New Amesterdam. A few generations later in 1854, 
Gearshum and Wife made it from Illinois to Linn, Oregon via covered wagon on 
the Oregon trail.  I have Clapp`s from Germany! I also have a couple of 
Pilgrims in my line, Richard Warren came over on the Mayflower.  One of his 
granddaughters, married a grandson of Edward Bompasse who came over on the 
second ship in 1621, the good ship Fortune.  I have Stuarts, McClaskey`s, and 
Murphey`s who are all no doubt of Celtic heritage. I have Shatto`s who might 
have come from Chateu`s, and maybe French Hugeonuts.  I have more than this 
site can show, and I`m always looking for more information and am willing to 
share all that I have in order to help make a more complete picture of the 
history.  And these are just SOME of the details! 
Welcome to My Family History!!!
