I've been working on a family tree lately and found some pretty cool stuff that nobody (or few family members) seemed to know about.
One 3xGreat grandfather had 18+ children, all to the same woman.
Another ancestor apparently helped [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Barton]Edmund Barton[/url] become our first Prime Minister.
So anyway, I managed to track my Great-Grandmother's family back to the early 1700s.
How about yours?

My mothers side is Gallagher, [url=http://www.gallagherclan.org/] So basically as far back as any Irish story based on truth and facts can be[/url], hence the big gathering of we're probably related.

I've got a book downstairs tracing my family back a long ways. Can't remember exactly when the name first appeared and I don't feel like looking for the book at the moment.
-
My mom is really into genealogy, so she has traced our family back to around the 1500's at this point.
-
Late 1600's. Still working on it though. At least that's how far we can get a finite tree with names, places and dates. We know the region we came from before that, but no good details.
-
Some of my lines go back to the 1300's (royal lines) and some stop in the 1800.
-
About 600 years. I also have the -blam!-ing scar that they left.
-
Not too far. My family is pretty boring.
-
I know where may family comes from, but not important figures past WW2. I am a mutt, I have roots in two native american tribes (high cheek bones), Vikings(my stature and blue eyes), Mediterranean( dark curly hair). and every where in between.
-
13th century, can go further, but without definite proof.
-
Not all that far, probably two hundred to three hundred years.

Edited by A dumd figit: 2/24/2013 2:49:11 AMall the way back to the tribe
-
I can trace my first name back to the 1600s, I don't know how much further because I never have. I'm the ninth by the way.
-
I know my dads side came over during the civil war and my mom's is a mess of 15 different races getting it on.

Edited by Dovahkiin: 2/24/2013 2:35:53 AMI can trace my family's history back to the early 1700s. After a bit of research, I've found a few interesting individuals.
-
I don't know much about my family history. However, I have a friend who claims he can trace his family back to Gaius Caesar.
-
I know I'm related to Lewis of the Lewis and Clark expedition, but I can only trace back to as far as my grandmother
-
I can trace both sides of my family to the 1700's, or about 10 Generations :P I'm a 7th Generation New Zealander! (My Mum's side of the family was one of the first to arrive here in New Zealand!)
