I like to ponder about my ancestry too. I was always left to believe that our family were German. Well it turns out that our last name (Fure) is from Norway. It means a clearing in the forest. Anyway, I did a search on the internet and came up with this. My GG Grandfather came from Bavaria. He traveled across Europe to Belgium and boarded a ship. Landed in New Orleans. Then made his way up the Mississippi river and settled in SW Wisconsin. He was a farmer and master carpenter. How the family made the trip from Norway to Bavaria is a mystery to me. I tried to back track from Bavaria ,but my German isn't that good. Plus I found out that a lot of the old documents were written in an old German language, which you have to study for many years to understand. So that is where my search has to end. It's fun to think about though. Maybe my family ancestors were part of the Viking hordes that invaded Europe. (?)
