My mother's family came here from Germany in 1640 to escape the thirty years war. My father's family missed it by only 14 years by arriving from England, via Ireland, in 1790.

sly, you should change your name to Mr. Obvious. This country is a country now, anyone here before 1776 would not be an immigrant but rather a first generation citizen.

Yes, my family came in 1740. I would love to see what it looked like then. I know until the last few decades it was safe to leave your doors open, things sit out without being stolen and children could play outside without worry. What has happened?
