I have been doing genealogy research for 6 years, and have discovered that I have lines going back into colonial America in 12 of the original 13 colonies. My ancestors include settlers at Jamestown (1610) and Plymouth (1620). My most immediate surnames are Arnold, Ellefritz, Wilson, and Wilcox (in Hancock County, Illinois), Workman and Thomas (in Guthrie, Oklahoma), and Anthis and Kyle (in Lee County, Texas.
