My Great grandfather and his brothers settled in Oklahoma after a brief stint in England. They lived in a hollowed out piece of ground until they built a home. Leave it to my family to settle in Oklahoma. Not Montana, or Oregon, or Maine...somewhere beautiful....noooooo...we have to settle in a place that sandblasts the pimples right off yer skin.

There once were two cats of Kilkenny,
Each thought there was one cat too many,
So they fought and they fit,
And they scratched and they bit,
Till, excepting their nails
And the tips of their tails,
Instead of two cats, there weren’t any.

I have Scottish Johnstons on my paternal grandmother's side. All my father's people are from Southern England. Do you known your first American forebear?
