Taking a brief pause to sum things up on the South & Vestal side of things


A More Complete Summing Up for all of CE South’s Lines


As our DNA results confirm, we Souths are mainly English. CE South’s lines altogether have 38 lines with English immigrant origins. In the Souths I found four Welsh lines, two Dutch lines, three French lines, two or four Scots lines (two disputed), one Irish line, and one German line. Of course there are a number of lines for which we don’t know the immigrant ancestor.  And lacking information, I have skipped a few lines, mainly, ashamedly, wives’ lines, because women just didn’t have the number of records that men did. Several of our lines began with immigrant indentured servants. Given the time period, there must have been more Revolutionary War soldiers, but I can only find ten whose service seems to have good proof.
