Ever wonder what a "hundre...Very interesting! Ever wonder what a "hundred" was? I have ancestors from Nanticoke Hundred, in Delaware. From Wikipedia, "The divisions (of counties), or 'hundreds' as they are called, comes from the times when Delaware and Maryland were colonial holdings of Great Britain. While Delaware alone retains the use of 'hundreds', the origin of most place names in both states can be traced back to the times of British rule." I imagine "Bermuda Hundred" comes from the same time period.<br /><br />I had no sense of a family history before a few years ago, and only found out about my heritage after joining Ancestry.com. It is an awesome thing, to visit a place where your ancestors lived and died.<br /><br />During my travels for work, I was able to visit my ancestors in New England, Indiana and Iowa. I have plenty in your neck of the woods, but I've never had enough time there to seek them out. Maybe someday....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8460671788820411538.post-56809084829230279522012-05-20T21:19:44.128-04:002012-05-20T21:19:44.128-04:00I struggle to understand people who don't appr...I struggle to understand people who don't appreciate history.
