Yes, on my father's side.

On my mothers side here. I remember an old pic my mother had showed me of her grandmother ... or great-grandmother, not sure which. Full-blooded Native Indian princess ...Blackfoot tribe, I seem to recall. Not exactly sure why the "title" princess. Guessing a daughter of the chief ... something along that line. Somebody in my clan surely has that pic somewhere.

That is true. There were many from all of the British controlled countries. Many were the poor or disenfranchised. A great many of them were indentured slaves.

and can't find anything prior to 1830.

Mark owns a business, and yesterday he got a cell phone call from a telemarketer.
how she got his # and name, i don't know, but she asked if our last name is German,
and he said, yes.

she asked if he had been to the 'homeland', and he said...
i live here. :)
hehe
