I'm lucky to have had 1 grandmother whom was older when I was young {she was born in 1883}. I remember the stories she'd tell. {me being one of the older grand children }
I can tell you one part now of how difficult it was for them....they lived in a *sod* house on the Kansas and Nebraska plains. There's an old photo of her standing in front of it.
And she was a middle child of 10 kids
Finally to Kansas, more permanent for many of them. Some to Illinois. A few still back east- mostly Ohio.
{some were more south such as Arkansas Tennessee etc.}
That's one side of the family.
I've been back and forth over the years, different states.
She never talked much about it as she did the other stories...but, the Scottish side -HAD- to leave Scotland. A political type thing, live or die, came to America... I remember, what she told tho
Tho.....my siblings are too young to be able to remember these stories nearly as well. When she would 'watch' us over night at times or a weekend night treat staying with her....at bed time, I'd Plead with her...."Tell me again about Uncle Deev" or some of the other older family stories....Luved to listen to her......
