There&#8217;s a lot here.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re all from somewhere is the general theme of the show we produced today. It&#8217;s about a reporter who is using public records to look up the immigration histories of people who are lately very much anti-immigration. But most of us have family that started somewhere else. My old friend and former co-worker Justin Thurman of the USA Today Network told us about the story:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/media\/player\/gh68w-85e238?from=site&#038;vjs=1&#038;skin=1&#038;fonts=Helvetica&#038;auto=0&#038;download=0\" height=\"600\" width=\"100%\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s funny is that Justin and his wife, when they tell me stories about their families, they sound exactly like my family. Just good old fashioned country folks, salt of the earth types. So much so that I have made a joke with them that we will one day find out we are related. And then as I learned more about my family history, it turns out that at one point my family was just a town or two over from theirs. <\/p>\n<p>My family has some English and some Dutch and a few other things. One branch can be traced back to the War of the Roses, another apparently back to the Mayflower and still another group seems to know its way back to the 16th century. We&#8217;re all from somewhere.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some photos<\/strong> I took of a walk we took yesterday. <\/p>\n<p>A duck out at a frozen Monroe Lake:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan18\/jan47.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Ice on scrubby brush:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan18\/jan48.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan18\/jan49.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan18\/jan50.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan18\/jan51.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/jan18\/jan52.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>I like photos of people at a distance, in silhouette. Sometimes the angles are such that you can&#8217;t see what they are doing, and so I wonder. I wonder what they are thinking, where they were before they got there, and where they might be heading after this.
