"The autumn chill that wakes me up
You loved the amber skies so much
Long limbs and frozen swims
You'd always go past where our feet could touch
And I complained the whole way there
The car ride back and up the stairs
I should've asked you questions
I should've asked you how to be
Asked you to write it down for me
Should've kept every grocery store receipt
'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
All your closets of backlogged dreams
And how you left them all to me"
—Taylor Swift in "Marjorie" bridge.

I’m really bored and so I decided to reseach Taylor’s mother family side history because we don’t know much about them compared to her dad’s family side who were all pretty much business men and bank presidents. And here’s what I found....
Taylor’s great great great grandfather from her mother side was born in Germany as Hermann (Henry) Heinrich Moehlenkamp (born:1808) to both German parents. He and possibly his entire family migrated to Missouri, America to escape political unrest/revolution happening in Germany at that time period. In Missouri he met Anna Catharina (Catherine) Ehlmann (born:1824) who was also German, born to both German parents. Together they had 5 children, including Henry J Moehlenkamp (Taylor’s great great grandfather, born:1858, he worked as a box packer at a factor and in a lumber yard) he married Emma Anna Bruns (born:1864)who is also German, born to both German parents. Together they had two sons. One of them was Elmer Henry Moehlenkamp (Taylor’s great grandfather, a saleman at a brick company, retail groceries and sales manager over the course of his life, born:1897) he married Cora Lee Morrow (a housekeeper, born:1900, I couldn’t find much information about her background). Together they had two daughters Virginia and Marjorie Moehlenkamp (Taylor’s grandmother, born:1928). Marjorie Moehlenkamp married Bruce Finlay. Bruce Finlay’s father was Lance Finlay and Lance’s parents were born in Scotland (his dad) and South Africa (his mother) but Lance was born in England (or born at sea according to some other documents) Bruce’s mother (Lance’s wife) on the other hand Eleanor (Mayer) Finlay both of her parents were from Germany but she was born in NYC. Marjorie and Bruce Finlay had two daughters together, Andrea and Alison Finlay. The German blood from Taylor’s mother side is really strong! I’m honestly surprised? This is just amazing to learn and find out!
I am so chuffed that you chose to send this to me

Taylor Swift is an American singer, songwriter, and actress.
Taylor is descended from a number of German immigrants to the United States, in the 1800s and earlier. Some of her ancestral lines also trace back to Colonial America of the 1600s, and to English immigrants of that time period. Her other ancestry includes smaller amounts of Scottish, Irish, Scots-Irish (Northern Irish), Welsh, 1/16th Italian, and distant roots in France, Sweden, The Netherlands, and Belgium (with Walloon ancestors).
Taylor’s “Swift” lines traces back to a William Swift, who was born, c. 1619, in Bocking, Essex, England.
Taylor’s paternal grandfather was Lt. Col. Archie Dean Swift, Jr. (the son of Archie Dean Swift and Bernice Maude Thompson). Taylor’s great-grandfather Archie was the son of Charles Julius/James Judson Fox Swift and Josephine Reno; the “Reno” line originates with French ancestry. Bernice was the daughter of Wilbur Willard / Willie Thompson and Barbara Maria Jane Kingsley.
Taylor’s paternal grandmother was Rose Baldi Douglas (the daughter of Charles Gwynn Douglas and Louise Eurindine Baldi). Charles was the son of Charles Douglass and Mary Jane Gwynn. Louise was the daughter of Charles Carmine Antonio Baldi, an Italian man, born in Castelnuovo Cilento, Province of Salerno, Campania, Italy, and of his wife, Louisa Eurindine Sobernheimer, who was born in Pennsylvania, to German parents, Frederick Sobernheimer and Catherine Louise Hammel. Thus, Taylor Swift is of 1/16th Italian ancestry.
Taylor’s maternal grandfather is Robert Bruce Finlay (the son of Lancelot “Lance” George Finlay and Eleanor “Ella” A. Mayer/Meyer). Lancelot was born in Southampton, England, to a Scottish-born father, George Finlay, and an Irish-born mother, Emma Lynch. Eleanor was the daughter of German parents, Julius Mayer, from Bavaria, and Delia Gunther.
Taylor’s maternal grandmother is Marjorie Moehlenkamp (the daughter of Elmer Heinrich/Henry Moehlenkamp and Cora Lee Morrow). Elmer was the son of Henry Johann/John Moehlenkamp and Emma Anna Eterina Bruns, who were of German descent. Cora was the daughter of Sanford Hewitt Morrow and Sallie Wells Faulkner.
