A family tree
So I got a family tree in my email today, from my aunt, who spent money on this kind of thing.
My paternal line now extends back to 1630, with Johann Peter Linck, born in Gross Rohrheim, Starkenburg, Hessen, Germany. I think that's how to read it, at least. I know the person after him was most definitely born in "Hessen, Germany". Does this make me a Hessian? Are the two even related?
