(Actress)
Meryl Streep made her film debut in 1977. She has since been nominated for 25 Golden Globes and 15 Academy Awards (including wins for both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress in Sophie’s Choice and Kramer v. Kramer, respectively) and, in 2004, received the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award. A New Jersey native and fifth-generation American, Steep’s ancestry can be traced back ten generations to the small town of Loffenau in Wurttemberg, Germany. It was from Loffenau that her second great-grandfather, Gottfried Streeb, illegally emigrated, possibly in the midst of the 1848 Revolution. Meryl’s 6th great-grandparent, George Streeb, was mayor of the town during the 1700s and there are 15 Streebs – her very distant relatives – still living in Loffenau today. The other branch of the Streep family came from a small town in Switzerland called Giswil. Meryl’s great-grandfather, Balthazar William Huber, emigrated to the US during the tumultuous period of the Franco-Prussian War.
Meryl’s maternal side has deep roots in Pennsylvania and Rhode Island. Her eighth great-grandfather, Lawrence Wilkinson was one of the first Europeans to settle Rhode Island. Lawrence’s grandson, John Wilkinson Sr., was a Quaker who settled in Bucks County, Pennsylvania (Wilkinson Road in Bucks County is named for the family). Another line of Meryl’s maternal family, the Crispins, can also be traced to Pennsylvania. The Crispins were distant relatives of William Penn, the founder of Pennsylvania, and records show they were among the first purchasers of land in Pennsylvania.

Well happy birthday to a company thats been at the cutting edge for a quarter century, paper cuts are now becoming overhead cuts. as you move from copiers and paper based operations to digital media. The worlds changed beyond recognition in such a short time.

Found this site because I have another site with almost the same domain name. I was doing searches and thought for a minute that my site was actually ranking high for once.
Your blog is very interesting reading, will be back again soon.
Saw your last episode on Michelle R. Adrian Granier etc. and being of Spanish descent and knowing my families oral history your show confirmed what we had learned when an uncle went to the Acrhives of the Indies for New Spain. and the info on record in the New Mexico archives. Many of us of Spanish descent have been here for hundreds of years but have long been treated as outcast and as your former politician noted questioned on their legal status. They assume we are all Mexican. I am proud of my Spanish mixed ancestry. Proud of how they came to settle the SW USA before it was the USA. Proud that we now can say we are long time American settlers of the new world and deserve our history being more accurately printed. Thank you PBS and Prof Gates. I have long told my children the history my Grandpa told me who was told by his Great Grandparents. Love that we can show how mixed our American DNA is and always has been. A true American is and always will be a Heinz 57. :)
Love your site – brilliant info!
