I am of German and Irish decent from what I remember and most of the family has been in Rockingham and surrounding counties dating back to 1700s.

I flatter myself to think we might have a connection that far back, but it would be cool (for me!). The son of the original patriarch eventually moved to Tennessee, then to Indiana, and to Texas in 1860 (one brother) and my branch's brother came in 1865, so they were only in Virginia until around 1820 or so. You had such beautiful country to grow up in! I love Texas, but the mid-cities area of the DFW metroplex scenery just can't compare to the Shenandoah Valley.
