This video shows how Peter and I travel down to Pennsylvania and visit the area that Peter's family settled in Damascus! We stop in Narrowsburg and walk through several cemeteries to find Grave's of those settlers!

I am a Pennsy girl too - brought up to the area I am in now as a baby BUT we always went back several times a year while the extended family was alive and well. My dad and mom's sides were originally from German (Dad) and Belgian (mom) descent. Fished in the Susquehanna, walked the woods, fished the streams, hunted for cool rocks or anything else we could find, camped, went on long drives to watch for deer, we did all kinds of wonderful things. My older kin were miners (mom's side) and railroaders (Dad's side) although the war and other different phases of history changed things up for people along the way. I had relatives in Punxy, Altoona, most in the Clearfield area, obscure little towns like Woodland, Cherry Tree, and other various locations - although no one had an actual farm, there was always plenty of gardening, canning, weaving rugs, needle arts, hunting, fishing, mushroom gathering - all kinds of things - family always had a deep appreciation for nature and what one could do from its resources. The two of you represent values and ways of life that have sadly started along the way of extinction. These little old towns in PA are recognizeable - the buildings all have a certain look to them all lined up along the main streets in these very old little towns, all the rowhouses/storefronts with upper sleeping porches and verandas, classic PA brick houses and buildings along the way....it is unmistakeable. How absolutely wonderful to visit your past and see it through your eyes. You have made me all kinds of sentimental now to the point that I should make a roadtrip down memory lane and revisit my heritage - I felt this one in my heart. Thank you so very much for sharing this and being so very inspiring - just wonderful.

That was an awesome comment! You have such a rich family history! Peter worked in the Gypsum mines for four years when we were first married and we have talked many times of how the coal mines are very similar( it takes a very special person to work in the mines of any kind)! I have allot of German ancestry and I find all of this ancestral remembrance so fascinating and worthwhile! The amazing part is how much we follow suit in career and community with many previous generations! Just so much fun to learn all of that interesting family history! Thank you so much for being so encouraging; we truly appreciate your positive feedback! Have a great evening and totally video your roots when you go back to PA! We will love to enjoy! Lynette and Peter

Great video! I love learning about family history! Interesting hearing about Peters roots. My moms side of the family came from Sweden & my dads side came from Belgium. I loved the scenery in the video, thanks for sharing it! So good hear that story about when u & Peter got married. So many couples live together now before they get married & don't think twice about it. Thankfully we were raised with good Christian values. Anyways I loved the video & I hope all is well with the both of you! Take & talk later, Paul

Organic Dairyman Thank you Paul and we agree; it was actually your video that inspired me to want to share our history( we loved hearing about your family and how the farm you rent is now back in your family to farm) ! I think RU-vid is such a great platform to remind us all how important those roots have been in bringing our story to today! My family is mostly German with a few French and English filanderer's lol My Dads side was a notable southern family and my Moms side were artists and cabinet makers! Things are so different today with values and how people approach marriage! Everyone gets in a hurry lol! We are enjoying watching how you combine your oats( your doing a great job) we are still waiting for our inspection( should be soon) We will talk soon, Have a great day, Lynette
