It's Taken YEARS but I Finally Found Them! 

I got a job after 4 years retirement! I am so blessed at 66. Going to pay down debt and pay off my car. Thank you Jesus for giving me health to do this.

I am very passionate about this country. I am 74. I have traced genealogy back to the early 1600's in England. We are also Scottish and Irish. I have ancestors who came to Jamestown. Have ancestors who fought in the Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Civil War. My Dad fought in WWII and my husband was a Cobra pilot in Vietnam. Our oldest son was in the first Iraqi war and our youngest son was a crew chief on Black Hawks during the second Iraqi war. We have a Grandson making a career in the Air Force now. We have a long long heritage of fighting for freedom for this country. You darn right I am passionate about it and so is my husband. So are out kids and our grandkids. This is why we need to take a step back and get back to the Constitution and our Founding principles. We are losing our Republic and all my ancestors didn't fight for our freedoms for nothing. Neither did my Dad, my husband, nor my sons. My heart breaks seeing what I am seeing today. That is one of the reasons we live close to the land and we are ready to defend our little piece of it if need be. Pray for our nation. Pray that we get Godly men and women back in the local governments, the state houses and the halls of Congress in DC. Pray that God will cover us with His protection from the powers that want to destroy us.

Here from Texas-we must stay in the Word and PRAY!!!

My great grandmother was full blooded Cherokee indian. Her name was Carey Porch. She died at age 25 but had my grandmother and my great aunt Johnsie. They sent to an orphanage my grandmother's name was Winnie Porch. My great aunt was two years old and was adopted but my grandmother was 5 and not adopted. She worked on farms for families for her keep when she was older. She married at 13 years old and had her first child at 14 years old. She used to tell us stories about her childhood and it would make me cry. I never knew my father so this is all I know about where I came from. People years ago lived hard liives compared to us.

Tennessee is called Volunteer State because of the likes of Davy Crocket, Jim Bowie, and others who came to defend Texas and died in the Alamo. Thank you, Tennessee! ❤️

I agree with you 100% I am drawn to your channel because you are raw and honest.

I agree, has anyone else noticed so much drama on eagle pass when just 2 miles down the road the wall is open nobody there. No military, no patrol ,no media! Distraction at it's fullest. Head on a swivel keep prepping folks. This pimple is going to pop.

Happy birthday, sweet lady ❤ I read an obituary of my 5th great grandfather. It said, “ He was a praying man”. That made me feel so good!! ❤

Im from Texas. Like you I feel we are being set up and being played. Upset about whats going on. I guess we will see how this plays out.

Amen Patara.. I'm 80 years old and I love finding out about family and I encourage my children and grandchildren...My Grandpa, George Billy (Jur Bily) left home at 16, the Austro Hungarian Empire in 1881. He hired on to a sailing freighter in the Mediterainin and sailed around Africa to Madagascar ...India .. SE Asia..across the Pacific to Vancouver. He jumped ship there and found work in the Alberta area as a logger...worked for many years and then scooted down to Idaho...got a job working on the newly formed railroad and worked his way east...when he made it to NY/NJ he sent for his girl friend, my Grandma. She came to NJ and married him. He was a founder of the Lutheran Church I grew up attending..they had 14 children. My poor Grandma had her last baby when she was 48 years old, she must have been one tough lady. My Momma was #10 and helped to raise the younger ones... My Grandpa built and operated the water system for the town they settled in... Where would I be without my ancestors? You are so right about family. Thank you and God Bless.

Patara you are a good example of being in the LORD’S army and a Proverbs 31 woman! Thank you for heeding the LORD’S calling. We are blessed because of that. Happy Birthday girl!!

I am an avid genealogist. I volunteer in a genealogical library once a week. i worked on a family for close to 30 years (off and on) but was at a brick wall, then one day I found something and it opened up so much more. My husband has lots of German ancestors, one particular family came over around 1760 and the father and 4 of his sons fought in the Revolutionary War. We are blessed to have such rich histories of people who came from different lands to make ME.

Its a mess in Texas and actually in the whole world at the moment. Stay strong folks and connected to the Lord. ❤

As a teenager, I was fortunate to go with my grandfather to see his childhood home. Had still a REAL feather bed . Was amazing to see this. The general store, still there, all original. Just a visit to the past. Still had all the dirt roads. A connection of where we came from, is so important. It keeps us humble and grounded, and grateful.❤

Patara. Your channel, your rules. Period.

I have read about the Revolutionary War and what the patriots sacrificed for freedom. I have family that went far back to that time. My dad fought in WW2. He was a POW and suffered a lot. It’s sad that today freedom is taken for granted. We should be so grateful for the people that fought for our country. We have to continue to stand up for our freedom.

Here from Navarro county between Houston and Dallas. I stopped at Buccees in Ennis yesterday and there were so many middle eastern people in there in full garments.. women with just eyes exposed. Never saw that before out here. It's was bone chilling

Your story is so similar to mine! All I can say is the Scott’s took the chances, fought and loved hard . I feel a lot of my heritage living on in me, the fight of the Scott’s Irish, the work ethic of the Germans and a need to respect and live in peace with nature from the Indians❤ only in America .

Got the opportunity to sit & visit with my husband’s mother over Christmas. She is 93. She told of visiting a great uncle’s grave in North Carolina. His grave was in a churchyard. She asked why his wife had not been buried beside him. His wife was Cherokee, & and was not allowed to be buried in the church cemetery due to that reason. So sad.

I understand completely, Patera! I have been researching my family for 20 years. I followed them in Church records (using microfisch machines) as they married, the baptisms of their own kids and found myself grieving as I looked through death records. Weird but true. Most came from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and fought the revolution and Civil War. I broke through similar brick walls and can share your excitement! We are who we desended from. Stay strong!

Hubby had an ancestor that fought in the war of 1812….. great great grandfather fought in civil war. Several great grandfather fought under Colonial George Washington. My grandpa was a pow in Germany. Uncle received the congressional Medal of Honor 1968 in Vietnam. Several Uncles in WW II . Very patriotic family

Yes girl you are telling the truth. In my 72 years I have never seen anything like this before. I hope people just wake up or we won't have a county. God bless you keep up the great work you are doing.

Patera, your content is yours! The things you talk about and show are what has made your channel grow. People don’t have the right to dictate what you should do either on your channel or in your life! Don’t change a hair! We love you for YOU!

it is wonderful that you found that missing info. I have been searching all my life to find where my grandfather was because he was an orphan and literally no records other than dna that confirmed that were are Roman Italian. My grandfather was an incredible man who did that trip from Italy twice, once to get established here and once to bring my grandmother and my Dad here and he did it with no government assistance, just hard work!!!!

Wise as serpants, harmless as doves! Blessings and Shalom

I was lucky that my aunt did a quite thorough tracking down of our ancestry. She put it all in a large album and had everything copied for my generation. I am Czech, Polish and English.

Texas here Pray PRAY PRAY. Waiting to see what happens

Patara, just a bit of info that might interest you. When the Prince of Orange came to the North of Ireland in 1689, he brought his battle hardened Dutch troops, but he also brought Hessian troops with him who had been part of his army in Europe against the French. It's just interesting that of all the Germans you could've been descended from, it turned out to be Hessians 🤔 I don't believe in coincidences!! Love your channel ❤️ The Lord bless you & keep you. 🙏 Btw: I'm in Belfast, N. Ireland. If I can help you with anything re: your genealogy, just let me know. ☘️

Nailed it Patara. We are in this together. Be prepared. Be strong. Pray. Hugs.

I love this! My German gg..grandfather landed in York PA around 1760. He had several sons. My line moved to N Carolina, then by wagon across TN to Jasper Alabama. My Grandfather was born there in 1891. There has been 5 generations since. You are so right. Knowing this stuff affects how we see ourselves and where we fit and just how blessed we are that those guys laid it all on the line for us. Protect it.

My eldest sister took over being rhr family genealogist. She had more access to research than my Mom did. She found we had ancestors on the mayflower we already knew we had family in the revolutionary war...on both sides...and the civil war.... again on both sides. Yes it is very frustrating with people saying "so what" about what is currently happening to this country that so many fought and died for

We will be debt free by the end of this year. Very blessed. Prepping and getting ready for what will be coming.

Thanks for sharing your genealogy adventures, Patera. I got hooked on it in college when my Texas History professor assigned a 10-page genealogy research paper as a term project. I was fortunate enough to have several relatives who had started the research. Mother shared their research with me. My paper ended up being a 400 page book, and I was thoroughly addicted. I had found many of my ancestors in the history books as being among the founding fathers of Texas. The search began! Speaking of Texas - please keep us in your prayers.

I started researching my paternal family tree when I was 20 or so, when ancestry had just hit the internet. I can't research my Mother's as she was adopted in 1953 and I'm just not willing to send my DNA off to a lab. The information I found on my Father's side, such as our relation to John C. Hancock, inspired me to keep digging. I'm a mix of German & Irish from my Grandfather's side and from what I've found about my Grandmother's side so far is mostly Polish. It's been such a fascinating thing to learn about!

Ancestors also didn't have the benefit of the internet and in some cases even a printing press to find out where they were heading to, they made a decision to find a better life. in most cases the attrition rate on long ship journeys was 50%. They made decisions we can't comprehend in our modern world. Thank you for the video and take good care.

My 6th great grandfather came over around 1690. Exiled from religious persecution. 1 of 120 on the boat, only about 20 survived. He started the Tennent church in Freehold N.J. What amazes me, all my grand fathers on my dads mothers side lived into their 90’s!!! I love your journey through family history. It’s important to pass down and keep it going.

Oh girl… you touched me deeply on this one. Now I know why all those lineage names in the Old Testament mean so very much. Wow! Thank you. God bless

I found your video while checking how mine is showing up. I am warmed by your call for peace and wisdom. On the surface someone may say that you and I are so different, but I love more examples of real people who are politically active who just want peace and love and the best for themselves and their family. Thank you for your expression.

Petara, my father did our geneology a d he found so much information from the Mormon library. We are not Morman but he still was able to research there. We found our family when they left PA and took the Oregon Trail. Some settled in Iowa. The library is probably accessible online by now. It's supposed to be the most accurate genealogy in the country. I love your channel, watch you daily. Love to hear confirmation of our same thoughts. Very hard to prepare in a fishing camp in FL. But like you say, we prepare as best we can. Happy birthday 🎉 God is good.❤

Wow,Amen Patara❤You were able to articulate why so many are so patriotic,that many are not able to.That was one of the best descriptions of why we care so much,fight so hard to save our country.Who we are.All with a level head.I wish everyone could hear it.I pray you have a beautiful day,you sure made mine.Thank you for sharing.❤🙏❤️🇺🇸❤️

Thank you for standing up to pressure! Stay authentic, that's what we love about you and your channel.

You speak with the Sword of truth, thanks! Happy Birthday Lady!

Love how she reached out to you for your birthday! Your ancestors are very close

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉so happy for you love from IRELAND

Patara, I've only been tuned into your posts for less than two years. I haven't seen all of your older posts (yet), but I'm a pretty faithful follower. If your posts have changed to reflect the concerns of the current times and events and folks aren't interested in what you have to share/teach, why do they tune in? I can't understand why folks don't just "change the channel?" Please continue to to what you do! I love having connections with like-minded people. You are so spot on about sticking together, being as prepared as possible, knowing our own family history, being/staying faithful, and working hard. Have a beautiful birthday!

My sister-in-law has done an amazing job on our family's genealogy. She has gotten back into the 1400's on a couple of lines. We arrived here back in the early 1630's to the Massachusetts Bay Company. The other side got here in the early 1700's. I don't want to let them and everyone that followed, down. I have impressed this into my kids. They gave me and mine the opportunity to be here now. I want to give my future descendants the same chance.

Irish here. Long time ago. Settled in and around your area in the beginnings, owned and freed slaves and lost the family wealth funding great things in the war. Many colors in this country carry our name and I'm happy for it. God Bless.

How precious of the Lord to give you this birthday present! He knows the desire of our hearts.

The Germans that arrived in the late 1700s had an awful experience. They were taken to England, built the ships that brought them to the colonies and were expected to work off their passage. I learned this while researching my genealogy at the NSDAR library in DC.

The sun setting on the trees behind you are beautiful. Im Indian,Irish and German also. Ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War&Civil War. They came over from Germany and settled in Virginia, then spread out to Kentucky&Tennesee&Missouri. Yes, if it wasn't for them, their courage&determination, a lot of us Patriots wouldn't exist. That is a humbling thought, that so many things could have prevented our being here. Providence...we were meant to be here. Wonder what GOD will expect of us for the sake of this generation? 🤔🤗❤️🙏

Patara I'm German Irish. Polish and Cherokee Indian and Proud😊❤

Thank you. One nation under God!! May He bless you as you bless others.

I also find it interesting that just this week 9 democratic states came together and appealed to Biden and Congress asking them to do something about the border. Why now? They have been feel the pressure for a bit. So, why this week?

happy birthday patara!

I was ready to go to Texas then I saw a tick tok, a Texan drove down from eagle pass less than a half a mile and the border is wide open for a hundred miles, every gate is open so anyone can just walk through. It’s all for show I would say please don’t go it’s J6 2.0 guys

I‘ve had the experience of finding a lost ancestor myself and I can tell you that I sat there and cried my eyes out because of the thanksgiving and blessings I experienced when that name fell into place along with so many others. There’s so much joy when you find that missing loved one and can add their name to the rest of the family. God has blessed you with a wonderful gift for your birthday!

This was very inspiring to me. My German ancestors arrived in the early 1800s, and came to the Midwest by way of the Mississippi River. I wish I could travel back in time and show them my gratitude.

Amen, Patera! Freedom of Speech! Continue to be yourself! They'll either get over themselves, or stop following. I'm continuing to follow you! Your inspiring, encouraging, and for real! We've got family tree information yet need to go further back!

Agree 100%

You are a good person ,God bless you

The story of your ancestors resonates. For those who criticize my Spanish ancestors for conquering America, I remind them were it not for them, I wouldn't be here nor have the Holy Faith.

After 10 years of researching my family, my sisters & I were inducted into our local chapters of the DAR.

When I retire in the next few years I’m looking to do my genealogy. I love how passionate you are and yes you would not be here if one piece of the puzzle was missing. Hold Strong Texas.

Happy Birthday Patera! I will pray for you and your family. You are right, we need to save our country from the hands of the wicked, by being united in our cause.

Thank you for always bringing the truth backed by faith and facts. Thank you for your time, I understand how valuable that is. Blessings to you and your family.

I stand with you! You are correct.

My girls and I wish you the happiest of birthdays and many returns, Mama Patara! There is nothing like discovering a new member of the family. The knowledge is powerful, and so gratifying. Our ancestors sacrificed much for us; now we do the same for our children. Thank you for reminding us!

Ive been family treeing for 17 years, i took over from my dad who'd been doing it for 20 years. Its addicted! Ive got back to 1545 following a path of my dads family. Got a combo of Somerset and Welsh. My mothers side is Ulster, and theres very little information that survived the 1922 burning but ive got back to 1780

Back bone is important.. Good for you... Lochness Scottish Highlands..

I just LOVE looking back on my family genealogy!! A cousin traced our line back to the mayflower and beyond and I often think of what ‘they’ all went through to make it possible for me to be here!!! It makes me think about the generations to come and what they will think of me in 6 or 7 generations!!!

Happy birthday Patara. 🎉 ❤

I am also Scotts/Irish and German. I am 75 years old now. Enjoy your talks.

I'm Irish, German, English and Scottish Irish. And proud of it.

Patara, I share most of the same lineage as you. I also have a rare surname. For years, I thought it was just German. It's Prussian. What my great great grandparents went through to get here...omgoodness...Between my mothers and fathers line...I'm so lucky to be here...NOW. I'm so grateful!

Been doing my genealogy for years. When you least expect it something will pop up. It has for me. I love and respect this county just not the so called leaders. Been praying!!

Good morning 😊 Praying for Texas and I'm praying for America ❤

Great story. My parents are both Immigrants from Germany. They came here on a ship also with my older sister when she was 2. In order for them to come here in the 50's They needed proof someone was going to support them before my dad got a job. No government hand outs then. Both my parents loved America and went to school to learn English right away it was required. Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY

We stand with you Patara, Texas & Trump. Keep spreading the truth. Past time to speak up, stand up, prep up, pray up. 🇺🇸God bless & save America 🇺🇸

My grandma raised her 7 siblings - saving and then sending each brother on the boat to Virginia

I like hearing about your genealogies that’s fun we’ve never made it on my dad’s side passed my great grandfather because he came over from Norway so to hear somebody that has hundreds and hundreds of years. Ancestors is really kind of interesting so feel free to share.

Thank you Patara for always fighting for the truth and freedom have a wonderful Happy Birthday God bless you God bless Texas and God help the USA

How wonderful that information just "popped up". God works in mysterious ways and on your Birthday weekend!! Congratulations for your find. Happy, healthy Birthday!!

Sounds like two Toms and one Rooster in the background. I cannot even give them away, Love your Nevada torgouiuse earrings. I worked in Germantown, Pa., the end of the underground railroad. Happy birthday. Your turkeys sound like they are at my door where they are not supposed to be.

Love this ancestry knowledge and I understand the rush from the seeds that come to fruition. I was adopted and figured out my birth name from a Sunday school book given to me in my first foster home. Found my birth family and have done some genealogy research as well as DNA. I have almost all nations present in this body of mine. Mostly, Irish, Irish Scottish (Ulster), German, and Cheyenne. I was able with the grace of God and remembering how tough my ancestors were to plug forward when life seemed to much to bear. I bought a homestead and the pantry is stocked. I feel very connected to the USA, especially the wild west and the deep South. Love your channel like u r a sister.

Patera, I have done genealogy for years and I'm so excited for you and what you've discovered about your family. I understand exactly what it feels like to find someone you've searched for. Rejoicing with you!

Greetings From Wisconsin!

Your channel, your content. Enough said!! Those of us who love you and your channel will continue to watch and support you. Those who don’t support you can keep walking.

My grandmother's family are the Miller's from Tellico Plains. Her mother was a Cherokee. Her maiden name was Hartness. Are you related or acquainted with any of these folks. Their ancestry goes back to Robert de Bruce, King of Scots.

You and I have the same lineage. And if we are blood related or not, you are my sister in spirit. Thank you for your strength. You are beautiful!!!

Thank you for your encouraging words.

I found out two weeks ago that I’m a Son of a Confederate Volunteer. My Great great grandfather was a Private in the 5th South Carolina Calvary. I’m still working on my genealogy and looking for a relative that was in the revolutionary war.

Happy Birthday Patara, you are a beautiful soul. ❤🤍💙

AMEN again, Patara!!! This nation needs another spiritual “awakening” like we had with George Whitefield and others!!! Praying for this nation!! Am wondering, however, what took Abbot 3 yrs to get here!!

Happy, Happy Birthday Patara! You are a true Blessing to ALL of us ♥️

Excellent message Patera! Congrats on discovering your German heritage through your grandmother! That's really awesome! My husband's great great great grandfather came over on a ship from England to Australia & it took a full year to get here! He wrote a book which my hubby managed to get a first print of. It's exciting reading & pretty terrifying travelling back then!! Have a great birthday. 🥰Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

This is amazing. I am part German as well. So happy you made that connection. My German Grandmother was born in 1897. She was made of very strong stuff!! These past generations are in our blood, and speak to us still.

I feel your excitement, so glad you shared this with us. Thank you!! I worked on my ancestry last year, while caring for my husband who recently died from Alzheimer’s. My paternal grandma was German but we were never told, and I’m so excited to find out more. And, the cemetery where my moms people are buried, was started by Larkin McGhee, who was a scout on the trail of tears, but he and his brothers married some of the Cherokee women and that’s where my family came from. I love hearing about your ancestry, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, eat a piece of cake for me!! Yes, we have to depend on God, and I ask that He bless your ancestry journey!!!!

Happy birthday, today is my hubby's birthday. Here in Texas and it is getting crazy here. Stay safe and keep going and be true to yourself.

Not boring at all. Genealogy is fascinating. Happy you found your German connection 😊

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PATERA! 🎂
