16 Great Great Grands

As I think I mentioned, I've been spending some of the time lately when it's been pouring rain outside sorting through some of the genealogical stuff I've accumulated over the past decade. I was inspired to begin again after sorting through a lot of the photos and papers found at Dad's. Anyway, a genealogical meme floating around right now is to list your 16 great great grandparents and their ethnicity/nationality. So here goes:

1. John C. Kline, b. 4 Feb 1863, Fort Wayne, IN, d. 28 Jun 1934, Brookfield, IL - German

2. Gertrude Rogers, b. 3 Mar 1870, Nunda, IL, d. 20 Aug 1932, Brookfield, IL - English

3. Wilhelm Hahn, b. 11 Nov 1859, Germany, d. 3 Dec 1897, Grossdale, IL - German

4. Auguste Wilk, b. 25 Dec 1861, Germany, d. 25 Jan 1941, Brookfield, IL - German

5. Ronald MacDonald, b. 10 Aug 1838, Prince Edward Island, d. unknown - Scottish
