Nice history in a nutshell. Challenges make for strong people. On my maternal side, one set of family left England for Holland and then the New World in 1620. The other set of family left England in 1883 for Quebec then moved to MA.

I watched a PBS movie about Cromwell years ago. I'm always skeptical about the take-away message being provide during a dose of long ago history!
