About this listen
Thanks to Dale MacAllister's further detective work, John finds his great ancestor Johan Albrecht Schmidt, born 1729 in Wurttemberg Germany and buried in Virginia. This finding unlocks an intriguing piece of John's ancestral past. 42 million Americans can trace their roots back to Germany - and all they've brought with them: hardworking values and invaluable contributions like agriculture, technology and sciences. But even though so much of American culture is rooted in these dedicated immigrants, many have been left out of our history books - none more so than John himself who grew up in Ohio unaware of his remarkable German heritage.
