Hi Michelle,
It was not me, who could not trace my family. It was De.
My family name Drews is traced back to Friesland in nothern Germany. It was
one of these, who came to Denmark to grow the new potatoes. In Germany many
people is called Drews, but here in Denmark we are only 2 families with that
name.
I think there was a danish king, who gave away land for the new potato
pheassants.

I know how you feel, Bjarne.
My family research hit a wall too, due to a language barrier and a
revolution.
My great-great-great--(forget how many greats) grandfather left France in
1786 (3 years before the French Revolution) for Canada at the age of two.
I don't speak French, and even if I did the odds of any records surviving
the Revolution probably aren't good.
On the other hand, a cousin has traced my great-great--(again, forgot how
many greats) grandmother, Lady Anne Gosse, to 1660s England.
I think we have an SCA persona here! I can borrow her name and craft a
history based on the info my cousin dug up.
Michelle, seeing the cup half-full.
