Part Two

My mom's side of the family came over to the United States from Germany in the 1800's. My mom was born in Baltimore, Maryland  and my dad was born in Gainesville, Florida. My grandmother on my mom's side was born in Cumberland, Maryland and my grandpa was born in Keiser, West Virginia. My grandma on my dad's side was born in Oklahoma and so was my grandpa. My great grandparents on my mom's side came from West Virginia also. Then finally on my mom's side somewhere along the line they lived in France. When my mom was younger she lived in Baltimore but when she turned 10 she moved to Bel Air right down the street from St. Margaret's. My dad was born in Florida and moved to Maryland when his sister was born. When they met they moved to Pylesville which is right by North Harford, which is also where I was born. When I was in 4th grade we moved to Bel Air in the neighborhood Glenangus. My mom says moving is one of the hardest things because of the house hunting, the planning, the packing, and finally settling in. One of our families really close friends moved to Germany because their dad was in the army. They said that in Germany it is such a relaxed lifestyle and they really enjoyed it there. They were all really sad when they had to move back to the United States. My grandpa's brother has a book that describes his ancestor's and how they were immigrants from France. They were kicked out of France and sent to Germany where they lived until the 1800's. In the book it also talks about how their last name was originally Lahott but changed over time and they shortened it to Hott. After the 1800's our family settled in America.
