The Connors Family

• My family’s ancestors came from Ireland

• It is unknown, but speculated that they came to America during the Potato famine in Ireland in the late 1800’s

• In Mt. Vernon, WI, there is still a family farm where my aunt and uncle live, and farm the land to this day

• My dad’s family has been farming for a very long time
