#MeetMyImmigrants: Annie C. Morris

Annie C. Morris was my 3x-great-grandmother. She was one of thirty-one foreign-born 3x-great-grandparents, apparently hailing from Montreal, Canada (though I have not yet confirmed the city). She was married to my only American-born 3x-great-grandparent, David Fisher, who was an active Mason, and also was in the International Order of Oddfellows and Knights of Pythias. They lived in Kingston, New York, where David worked as a tailor. Annie died shortly after the birth of her sixth child, my 2x-great-grandmother, Emma. I went to visit Annie and David in Kingston in 2015.

 

Are you ready to meet your immigrants? Let's work together to find your roots.
