Default Re: Your background

I know nothing about my mom's side of the family, and my knowledge of my dad's side has to do with two specific ancestors.

The first is not that interesting... Samuel McCutchan (I think the spelling was different then, though) was the first of that side of the family in America; from Scotland.

The other is more interesting. My great*8 grandfather was General Edward Braddock, supreme commander of the British forces in America during the Seven Years'/French and Indian War (at least he died in a stupid ambush...*grumble*). He's close enough of a relative, that my great-grandmother's maiden name was Braddock. It was with my great-grandparents (my dad's dad's mom and dad) that the Braddock and McCutchan lines mixed.
