Family Object: Red Bolivarian Glass

I did some research on my family and brought an object in from home and gave a

 little presentation. This is what I wrote about:

This is Red Bavarian Glass. It means very much to my family, it is the only item we have from my father’s side of the family left. My family is originally from Trier, Germany, but at the time it was located in Prussia. Trier is near the border of France. They immigrated over to the U.S. around the mid 1700’s. They came in through New York and eventually moved on to Wisconsin. They moved to Wisconsin because it reminded them of being back at home. They immigrated to the U.S. because they were sick of all the leadership and wars that was going on.

            An interesting couple of fact about my family, my great (and it keeps going for a while) grandfather was in the Napoleon Guard. Also my last name was originally spelled Pauli. Then it got changed when my family came over to the U.S. to Pauly. Then my grandfather had it changed on him when he was born to Pauley.
