My Moms sister was married to my dads brother, which means their kids have the exact same ancestry as I do. (Lost you yet?) lol
One of them has traced the families on one side back to the mid 1500's and the other side into the late 1600's last I heard. They were all from Norway and immigrated to the US.

That's amazing Tink! I've traced my mom and my dad back to the early 1800's when they all came over from Ireland. Unfortunately the Irish are not great record keepers, so I don't have any information before that.

I would love to trace mine back. I think my family were the Mckinney's of Summer Hill were they first come to North America from Ireland and Scottland, but I'm not sure. I would love to learn how to trace back further.

I thought that I had copies of my family traced back earlier than I actually did so I need to change mine from the 1500's to the 1700's.
I met a distant family member on the internet (and have now met her a couple of times in person) and she has the Julian side of my mother's family traced back to 1749 in France. A part of my husband's family has been traced back to really, really early by a distant family member.
