has anyone managed to trace their family history?
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?!

Yes, I have gotten as far back as the early 1700's, when my people came from Scotland to the USA.

Wonderful! So many people back in the States have German lineage.

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.

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
