I've taken a little break from researching my side of the family and have been looking into my husband M's side. I must say it's been fun and interesting to see what I've discovered so far. M is very much German/Prussian. Depending on the census year depends on whether his 2nd great-grandfather and grandmother came from Prussia or Germany. They arrived in 1868 and I'm assuming they came from the side of Prussia in modern day Germany. Another ancestor came for Germany, but the far western part, very near Luxembourg, Belgium, and France.
My favorite discover was when in the 1910 census his grandfather was listed as 2 months, his great-grandfather was listed as well as his great-great-grandfather. They were all living together and it made researching so much easier.
