Londonderry, Ireland is the origin of furthest back ancestor that I am aware of. The only other thing I know about them was that they were considered Scotch-Irish Presbyterians, so I guess Scotland some time before Ireland.

Central Loire Valley (Centre-Val de Loire or Centre), France. The administrative center for this region is Orleans and my ancestors eventually settled in the New Orleans area.

Yorkshire, England. But it's actual origin is Danish, due to the Vikings control of that area for a time. Thank my ancestor Bjorn.


This my story as well, except my ancestor was Rothgar.
