48TH EDITION, THURSDAY THIRTEEN
Thirteen Illegal Immigrant Ancestors (of mine)


If you follow The Pink Flamingo,  you know that I am very involved in the whole immigration issue.  I thought I would list 13 Illegal Immigrant Ancestors.  There are a heck of a lot more than 13, so this is just a start.  If you want to see a half-way decent list, which will top off somewhere around 40 or so, check back later at The Pink Flamingo.

Thanksgiving is a time for thinking about family.  With mine, we wax poetic on the origins of our pioneering, founding ancestors (all of whom were illegal)!.  I don't have the Mayflower ones listed yet, but there a couple of 'em in the woodpile somewhere.  Everyone on this list ended up in New England.

NOTE:  I am out of town (still).  It will take me awhile, but I PROMISE to visit every TT who visits me.
