Big surprise for Dad's side of the family was that our ancestors can be traced to 1742, no idea where his father came from and when however. We think Germany based on the name. Also found out that the spelling of the name is different from his father and his siblings, we believe that it is the phonetic spelling of the father's name Seyfried. I tell people that the actress Amanda Seyfried is a cousin (she probably is!), she comes from an area of PA where our family settled also, until some with our spelling of the name moved to the Ravenswood, WV area. Dad named our farm Ravenswood Farm in honor of that branch of the family.
On Mom's side her parents were Hungarian immigrants in the late 1800s, her mother came her first then and her dad was a later immigrant in early 20th century.
My sister came across an interesting news article about our great grandfather... he worked in a coal mine in southern Ohio and got crushed by a coal cart. He did finish his shift and then went home and died. My grandmother and her mother and sisters had to move in with an uncle, no workers' comp then. Some people think they have it tough these days!
