Family History

Apparently, my Grandma B.'s side is Danish. The old name was Mattrup, and apparently they have a castle somewhere in what in now a province of Germany. They immigrated after the Danes lost a war to the Germans, and the then patriarch of the family swore his children would never be Germans, so off they went. And I guess, there is some Irish in there too, my Grandma's mother's maiden name was Quinn.
