One of my male Reese cousins, a direct male descendant of my Reese ancestors, took a DNA test , revealing new information about the line. His paternal haplogroup came up as R-L 1029 , information which can only be found in the Y-DNA (a male) direct descendant. According to his DNA results (Ancestry DNA), my Reese grandfather's paternal ancestry is as follows: Southern Germanic Europe 16% (see map from Ancestry below) Southeastern England & Northwestern Europe 10% Central Scotland & Northern Ireland 11% The Netherlands 3% North East England 5% West Midlands 4% Donegal, Ireland 1% Germany’s wealthiest and most scenic localities lie in its southernmost region, home to the German Alps and alpine lakes. It is also home to world-famous car manufacturers such as BMW and Audi, which power the economy and make the city of Munich one of the most expensive cities in Germany. Southern Germans also have a reputation for standing out culturally from other Germans. The saying “mia san mia” (“we are who we are”) expresses such pride. Southern Germans revel in their love of beer at the annual Oktoberfest fair, which showcases traditional food and drink like German pretzels and a specially brewed Wies’n Bier. ( Ancestry.com ) My Reese grandfather, who never drank a beer in his life, was told his family came from Wales and they lived in the mountains of Pennsylvania before moving into Central New York. The Pennsylvania part has since been confirmed and there was a Welsh Settlement in Pennsylvania, so it seemed to line up, although I've found no information past George Reese . There was also a large population of Pennsylvania Dutch (German) in Pennsylvania in colonial times. With more research, we can use this valuable information to determine the origins of our Reese family.

Let's take a moment and recognize how fortunate we are to be anticipating America's 250th (Semiquincentennial) in 2026. The celebrations have already begun! Check america250.org for a full list of events scheduled. The Smithsonian is also hosting events to commemorate the anniversary. A must see online exhibition can also be found on their website here . It's a good time to brush up on your knowledge of the American Revolution! Here's what you need to know: The American Revolution (1775–1783) was a series of military and political struggles through which thirteen British colonies in North America won independence and became the United States. It began as a colonial protest against taxation and imperial control but evolved into a global conflict involving Britain, France, Spain, and the Netherlands. The war unfolded in several phases—New England, the Middle Colonies, and the Southern campaigns—each marked by dramatic reversals of fortune. The opening clashes at Lexington and Concord in April 1775 ignited the war, as colonial militias confronted British troops near Boston. The bloody Battle of Bunker Hill soon followed, proving that the inexperienced colonists could stand against the world’s most powerful army. In 1776, George Washington’s daring victories at Trenton and Princeton revived American morale after the loss of New York. The turning point came in 1777 at Saratoga, where an entire British army surrendered, persuading France to ally with the Americans. The war shifted south in its final years. Despite early British successes in Georgia and the Carolinas, guerrilla warfare led by partisans like Francis Marion wore down royal forces. Washington’s and Rochambeau’s combined armies trapped General Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781, forcing his surrender and effectively ending the conflict. Sporadic fighting and negotiation continued until the Treaty of Paris was signed, on September 3, 1783, officially ending the war. Below is a list of all the major (and some minor) battles of the American Revolution. These are just a fraction of the hundreds of skirmishes and engagements that were part of America's fight for independence. Choose a link to watch a short video about any battle.
