4. About 1700...no body interessting though
5. Yes its very interesting and frustrating to say the least .
6. My furthest-back line so far goes to Cornwall in 1640. That's 11 generations, I think. All my ancestors were "salt of the earth" ordinary working people. Nothing too exciting. I found some interesting names; one called Asdrubal Steevens, and another called Jeremiah Cake, who changed his name to Robert Keates, I'd like to know why!
7. yes found out that I'm a a lot of greats grandson of the Naz parz chief and Jesse James the outlaw funny i how i see it
8. UK answer. I have got back to 1615 on my mums side and 1630 on my dads side. I found an ancestor who was trampled to death whilst running to find a better place to watch the public hanging of a man who had murdered his family in a drunken rage. She was trampled to death with twelve others, and she was aged 24 years.
9. I'm back to about 1735, I come from a long long line of Miners Coal, Iron copper and Tin.
10. Its very interesting tracing a family tree. Have a lot more work to do on it. How about U, how R U doing with Yours? Have Fun
11. Traced back to 1657 for one branch of the family but hit a brick wall with two other branches that are documented in 1756. Interesting characters are 4xgt grandfather a soldier who served in the American Revolutionary War and fought at the Battle of Corruna. Another of his descendants recieved the OBE from the late King George for his services during the war years and a great uncle who was Solicitor General for Scotland and an Honorary Lord which went with the post of Solicitor General. Quite a few ministers of the Free Church but most were miners, blacksmiths and weavers and Tambourers.
12. traced my tree back to 1500, my grandfather was Winston Churchill's batman in the boar war, and one of my ancestors in 1854 burned to death when she fell into the fire whilst having a fit ( poor woman )
