1636. Any of you got that beat? Prolly not.

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?

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.

I'm still trying to figure out how you're descended from Edgar Allan Poe, a man who had no children.

My family used to own what is now known as Houston Texas. My family fought in revolutionary war and one of my ancestors ran against Thomas Jefferson for POTUS.

 

Oh and as mentioned before. Martha Washington.

 

Wanna fold?

My oldest direct paternal descendent (same last name) got off the boat in 1665.

Most of the people who settled America were unsuccessful Europeans. I would think that having a lineage that goes to successful Europeans would be far more interesting.
