Movie Wednesday: A Prussian Immigrant

In Texas, all 7th grade students take a Texas History class.  My daughter's teacher became interested in genealogy and decided to assign her students a genealogy project with a Texas twist.  [Oh Yeah.]  Among many handwritten reports she had to do of her family's genealogy [family group sheet, pedigree chart, fan chart, and the like], she had to create a presentation on one of her Texas immigrant lines.  In other words, who were they, how'd they get to Texas, and such.  Well, we [the kids and I] have been doing a lot of legwork on the Marschall's of Galveston, Texas.  [Yeah, I know.  It's rough to *have* to do research on an island...on a beach. *sigh*  Hey, we did go to the archives before we went to the beach.  But you can hear the waves from there...]

Anywho, here's what my daughter [with some help from me], put together.  I did alter the last two slides to remove her name from the project in order to put it on my blog.  Also, the soundtrack, "In Color" which was co-written by Jamey Johnson, James Otto, and Lee Thomas Miller & performed by Jamey Johnson, was used on her school project, but has been taken off this newer version.  YouTube did not require me to do this.  They simply monetized the version on YouTube.  I just decided the right thing to do would be to make one without audio.  So, if you haven't heard the song before, go buy it [after you watch the slideshow, of course].  It's awesome, from a family historian's perspective, that is.  

So get some popcorn, sit back, relax, and enjoy learning about A Prussian Immigrant...
