I have been trying for thirty years to find the person who jumped the pond first. Growing up in Massachusetts I learned all about the great difficulties those first settlers of Plymouth endured but I never dreamed in a million years that I would have an ancestor who took such a chance. It really struck me hard and I am still coming to grips with this information. Thank you Megan Smolenyak, over the years you have been a great inspiration to me as I have learned my family history.
