IRISH IMMIGRATION RATE DUE TO GROWING DEATH RATE

POWER
My mother's maiden name. Originally Powers, the "s" was removed upon her great-great-grandparents arrival in the US (although it is still present in some documents) around 1860-80. They then moved to a small farming town in Missouri, fully utilizing the ideal weather, climate, and presence of loess in that location.

DALTON GANG
My great-great-cousin (in some other distant way) was a member of the moderately notorious Dalton Gang, the group of outlaws that robbed trains and banks in the American West from 1890-1892.

Like the first Powers to arrive, many spent their entire existences (practically) on dairy farms. My mother's father was the first to break that pattern, although his older sisters were mostly raised on such.

GERMAN AND ENGLISH

IMMIGRANTS BY NATIONALITY IN 1910

MY GRANDMOTHER:
Her grandparents, the Pfeifers, passed through Ellis Island while immigrating here from Germany sometime in 1910. They settled in Victoria, Kansas, a little farming town outside of Wichita.

My great-great-grandfather (my grandma's grandfather) was a quarter Cherokee, which makes me 1/32 Native American.

11.

MY GRANDFATHER:
His family (all from England) had been living in the States for many years by the time his spouse's ancestors first arrived. They had even amassed 500 acres of farming land just outside of Eureka, Kansas.
