I'm trying to do mine, but its difficult - found out that my dad's paternal side came over from Lancashire in the mid 1830s, the earliest I could trace was a man born in 1815 -
wow - such travellers, they moved from lancashire to Yorkshire (I'm being sarcastic here! I mean, its so boring!!
Mickey - what are your origins - seen as though we look similar, we could be related?!

My father is from Germany, my mother is 3rd generation Mexican-American. Her roots go back to native American indians...we even have pictures of past relatives dressed up in the tribal attire. Posted by tina kamal (Member # 13845) on :

Try ancestry the uk version has the census returns online and I traced several branches of the family back 9 generations to the 1700's and across several countries. Great fun
