My maternal side has records that go back to 1631, with my ancestors landing in Boston and Braintree Massachusetts from England. My aunt even found an ancestor who was called Pietro il Romano from Feremino, Italy in the 12th century. He earned the title "Roman" because that was the customary honorific for people who had studied in Rome. His descendants migrated to France, converted to Protestantism, and then they were exiled by the French Catholic monarch. They fled and found asylum in the Netherlands before migrating to England. There is another maternal ancestor whose name may have originally been Meschines, a Norman surname.
The old English genealogy books which contain records of my ancestors trace their line back to Germanic mythology with Hengist and Horsa, the legendary founders of Anglo-Saxon England who were said to be descended from Odin (Wotan), the Norse god. In these books, Wotan is called a king rather than a god because the Christian compilers of these books had to think up a way to reconcile their Germanic roots with Christian chronology.
The earliest records of my paternal side that I know of go back to Ireland and Elsass Germany/France (they were ethnic Germans). My paternal DNA is I1 which has its heaviest concentration in Norway and Sweden which points to Viking heritage.
