Genealogically Speaking.....

My Genealogy/History Robinsons of Ulster, Ireland. It is said there were two brothers.... Gras(s) Clan -- a quiet group, possibly indentured. hard to track... any info? Dixson/Dixon/Dickson Monroe -- President Monroe is an ancestor, among others... Eckerson -- the Dutch side 'o me Sexton -- Bice -- Still Working On This...(Otsego County) Bradt Dutch descent. My son's best friend's turns out to be connected 9 generations back!
This-n-That
Sometimes I have a greater success finding information on other folks,like my father's best friend's lineage - Descendants of the Mayflower.

Dear Ancestor, Your tombstone stands among the rest Neglected and alone The name and date are chiseled out On polished marble stone It reaches out to all who care It is too late to mourn You did not know that I exist You died and I was born Yet each of us are cells of you In flesh and blood and bone Our blood contracts and beats a pulse Entirely not our own Dear Ancestor.. the place you filled One hundred years ago Spreads out among the ones you left Who would have loved you so I wonder if you lived and loved I wonder if you knew That someday I would find this spot And come to visit you.
