Family+History

=Family History= =Jake Goldberg:= Q: Hello granddad, tell me how our family "came to America ?" and "what are our roots." Let's start with my mother Helene Eckhouse. Her great grandfather Elias Eckhouse came from Germany about 1850 and settled in Indiana. Her grand mother Lena Fox came to Ohio from Austria, in about 1880. Q: Gosh, that's about the time of the civil war, do I have a lot relations in America. Yes you do. You have a distant cousin, a professor of sociology at Indiana State, who oversee our giant family tree on ancestry.com. Their are a lot of interesting stories about our relatives. Q: Tell me one. Well, I don't know if it is true, but one story goes that Ulysses s grant slept over at the Eckhouse house. They say "he was a very large man, and the Eckhouse family had the latest bathtub in town." Q: what are my roots, how far back do we go. Well, for that we have to go to my DNA. I joined www.23andme.com.
