geneology - ancestry
ad
I was at one side of in-laws family reunion not to long ago and they had the family ancestry printed out and displayed. It was really cool. I was debating doing the same for my family. I know where we came but don't know the middle before my family came across the pond. Anyway have any of you used ancestry dot com or similar? What did ya think? My wife says I don't have time but in a the free part I easily found records up to my great grandparents whom I didn't even know their names very quick. Let me know your thoughts.

CleyonMy family is BIG into geneology, it's really cool to know not only where your family is from, but what parts. I've gone to Prussia and visited cemetaries where my great-great-great grandparents are buried, visited ruins that used to be my families castle, and stuff like that. It's pretty cool.
Especially since on my Mom's side it's all Spanish, and my great grandfather was a cook for the royals in Spain. He ran away when they came to America for a visit, and that's how he came to be an American.
Anonthats cool bro I to have spanish blood
That sounds awesome!
AnonI did family history type shit and thats how I found out about my bloodline! alot of scottish
I started to do the ancestry.com thing and like your wife my husband said ..and where are you going to find time for this amongst all you do. Well i wanted to see what i could find...i started..and ummmmm yeah that time thing...got in my way. I did though get some AWESOME background info and books and papers etc from my grandmother....the only one who kept all this stuff, and now i have it! Very interesting to find my origin roots. But now all that info i have still sits on a shelf and i have yet to look back on ancestry.com.
Sorta figured. Her family recently went to their country of origin to a very small town of less than 600 and that country helped immensely and now have their history to the 1700's. I of course could only think that 600 people their must have been some major inbreeding lol but anyway thanks!
