My mother and father's parents come from small little villages in Eastern Europe.
My Dad's were from Romania and Austria. My Mom's were Russian. They were very poor. The Jewish people were in danger in those days. They also had different names. When my grandparents and their families came to Ellis Island, the clerks couldn't always pronounce their names, so gave a lot of them the English equivalent.

The farthest back so far is a Jone Jacks 1643 in England. This is on my dad's side.

I have family who have traced way, way back, but the fartherest I can verify is the 1800's.
