Yes, since my Dad has started working on a family tree. So far he has linked our family back 5 generations. I'm getting involved too, I think it's very interesting
-
Not a great deal, as back as far as my Great-great grandfather on my Mothers side. My fathers very little at all
-
both are from Germany (i think) and the city lahr is named after them

I researched my family tree a few years ago, and I can trace back my family lines to Ireland, Germany, Italy, and Canada. I have the most information from the Italian side, since we have a huge amout of family records on that side of the family. Apparently, my family has lived in Northern Italy for hundreds of years, possibly even as far back as the Roman Republic Era.

I would love to, but don't except for some rumors, which I'm not sure if they're true, I'm from Slovakia, but it's not where we're originally from, since everybody with my last name in the whole countr is related to me, cousing or bit further but still family, and we still see each other at ... well funerals.. we must have been in Slovakia only for about 4 generations. My generation is loosing track of the family though.

back to the fourth century on one line...it is one of the longest traceable lines in the world...we probably all have it, but you just have to find how you link into it...it goes back to the Imperial family of Xian China.

My mother helped write a geneology of her family. We are the Bowdoins of Bowdoin college in Brunswick, Maine, USA. French origin

Yes. We arrived in America in 1710, with money, influence and some blue blood. Two generations ago, the rich side married the pauper side and it's all just a "lovely PAST" if we mention it at all.

I do. I traced my Dad's side all the way back to 960 and my Mom's back to the 1700's. Both sides of the family are from either Ireland or Scotland.
