    Default How far back can you trace your family tree?

    On my mother's side, I can go all the way back to the Plantagenet family, the Native American Indians, and some the earliest English settlers in Virginia. The earliest ancestors I can find are ones in England in the 12th Century. My dad's side is elusive past the 2nd great-grandparents, as they were all in the Old World until around 1890. I trace them back to 19th Century Germany and 19th Century Lithuania.

    Luckily I knew my grandparents, my parents knew most of their grandparents (at least where they were born and lived) but I would say I know very little beyond great-grandparents.

    They were from France and stopped in Zimbabwe in the early 19th Century before heading to Virginia. They probably had distant relatives over here. Not sure why they chose to stop there . It could be there were land surveyors.

    To one generation before great grandparents (end of 19th century/beginning of 20th century) but don't know full names of all of them, just places of living.
