THE CLAN GRANT
We ALL come from noble heritage! As I have worked to find our Ancestors the more I learn about them the more I love them.
Many of you are also "digging" through the past trying to identify "those who came before" us! I am not the first & I hope not the last to search the census records, Ancestry.com, micro film, fish & Google!
Some of my Amazing Grant Cousins have filled pages & pages of names, dates & places. From those pages I found where our Jessup Ancestors were deeded a piece of land on Long Is., N.Y. On a recent trip (before Hurricane 'Sandy'!!!) I was able to stand with my Daughter Jennifer on the beach our Ancestors settled! In the nearby town of Quogue, NY there is a Jessup Ave. & we were shown the restored Homestead of the Jessup family. We were invited to come back for "Founders Day" celebration which is aka Jessup Family Day!
Even though the name of the Ave. is Jessup, the road still leads to our Grant Ancestors!
SO.....HERE IS THE FIRST 'GAME'
Any of you that have 'stood' where one of 'Our People' have been share the place, the people alive & dead that have walked the same road!!!
So "THE GAMES AFOOT"!!!!!
That is really cool! You will have to go back when you are there after the wedding. I wish we all had time to go.
ReplyDeleteOh man Briana! YOU are the first to visit my blog!!! You SCORE!!!
ReplyDeleteI would love to take you there & a million other places!

I am going to add more posts, but when my friend set this up for me we were in a huge hurry & didn't go over those instructions very well! Or maybe she did but I just didn't catch it because I'm DEAF AS A POST!!!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry my next post won't be in Sing Language!
We need you Grant, Dalpes, Kindsfather, ETC to tell us were you have been?
Anyone go to Ireland or Scotland? Ellis Is in NYC???
St Patrics Cathrdral? Antie & Unks house, Aunt Mary Ellen's basement it doesn't have to be a fancy place, it's the memory of who was there or had been there!
Kind of like all of you supporting our 'Dalpes' family when We had Moms funeral, we were in The church Mom & her family grew up in!
Here is a good clue!!! Who in our family helped set up the Rosary Guilde??????
Hang on guys & gals, I will figure out how to do this & then...............the games will REALLY r afoot!!!
