Wow, that is so interesting! I'm digging into ancestry, this time on my mother's side. I have info as far back back as 1737 when my mother's ancestor came to Denmark from Germany. Would really like to trace him further back.

My father's family I have traced back to 1809 on the male side of the family. Most of my father's uncles emigrated to the US. Have only found one of those families, though.
