Azure Sales · 10-29-2004, 08:07 AM

I did 1/2 of mine a few years ago - Apache and Welsh...

Funny when I lived in Australia - I found lots of people with my last name vs. in the US where there are very few....... gaurds or prisoners?

I have 2 BIG binders full... about 800 pages in each of my family tree.

Oh, and that's just from my mother's side....

Cute...

I come from a long line of military men, but my first ancestor in the U.S. was apparently deported (exiled) from England for stealing a goose...

Jeff aka NIGHTfall · 10-29-2004, 08:27 AM

i just found out my grandfather died in the holocaust

he fell from the guardwatch tower and broke his neck

Phoenix · 10-29-2004, 08:33 AM

haha funny stuff guys.

im finding out that we were indeed on the field with people like william wallace..robert the bruce..etc

we are mentioned in the poems and songs of the time. and had lands given to us for service etc.

cool shit

Rochard · 10-29-2004, 09:04 AM

My father died when I was nine months old, and I was never close to my father's side of the family. I was always told that I was Polish, but this is from my mother's side.

Last summer my grandmother died, and being as I was the very last one to hold the family name (Buss) I made the trip out to where I grew up and spent some time with my father's side of the family. I met the family historian and discovered, much to my surprise, that I am also Irish.

I thought that was pretty cool.

jayeff · 10-29-2004, 09:34 AM

My father traced our family back to the Norman conquest. In the early days my ancestors were rent collectors for the equivalent of the lord of the manor, the first being Roger of Poitou. Poitou's father led the right wing of the Norman army at the Battle of Hastings. Although otherwise undistinguished, that activity apparently made us reasonably prosperous and we occupied Trawden Hall in the north of England for over 500 years.

No special claim to fame, although the first ever Methodist meeting and the first ever Quaker assembly were both held in our home.

Oh and we have a coat of arms: three holly leaves on a shield under a red cross, the latter indicating participation in the Crusades. It seems likely however that we "borrowed" this design from a similarly named Scottish family and may not have been entitled to use it

Bigfella · 10-29-2004, 09:35 AM

yea.. went back to great, great grand parents.. then it is kind ov all a blurr

Gunni · 10-29-2004, 09:40 AM

Yeah, I can trace my family tree on both sides from around the year 1100.
Am realated to Leifur Eirikson, the first european to put foot on America, and some other Vikings that are mentioned in the Icelandic sagas

... then some french fisherman bastard came along and I am one of 7 people in iceland that are not blond and blue eyed
