Do you think it's possible to trace your family tree all the way back to Charlemagne? My cousin is the family historian and he claims to have traced the family back to one of the wives of Henry VIII, King Alfred the Great and Charlemagne. I understand that if your a member of royalty you can trace your family back centuries. But, we are not. So, even though I accept Charlemagne and the rest would have thousands of descendants I don't think it would be possible even for royalty to go back that far. There surely wouldn't be any existing records left.

Does anyone know how you can trace your family tree when relatives have been born abroad? My Mum was born in India & my Granny's death was registered there too - we have my Mums birth certificate but cant trace granny's death (grandad died a long time ago so cant ask him, likewise all of granny's other relatives who knew her) - Im trying to trace both granny's death certificate & the birth/death/marriage certificates of other relatives in India. The problem seems to be that Mum was born & granny died (& all the other births/marriages/deaths happened in the 1940's when control of India was being handed back to the people of India & both the British & Indian authorities kept completely different records, neither of which we can find as the people involved weren't in the British military.
