Giants Fan 85 Posted January 13, 2013 He's pretended to be Scottish, and American ... he's neither. 10 generations, and nearing 400 years ago, before this country was a country ... a man was born with my last name in Massachusetts. His son, had a son, had a son etc., to me. Anyone got that beat? Yeah, that's what I thought. You aren't sure. :suck-it: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
montana 89 Posted January 13, 2013 I actually just started on my family tree. My Mom's side is going to be difficult as she's only a 3rd generation American (from Germany/Austria). My Dad's side is Amish & no real records other than a few census #s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
