How far can you trace back your ancestry? - GoFuckYourself.com

How face back can you trace your ancestry?

On ancestry.com a distant cousin of mine traced our familly history back all the way to the 1600s. My 7th great grandfather was Christan Boss and was born in Bern, Switzerland.

It seems somewhere along the family line our last name changed from Boss to Buss.

ancestry's business-case is to make poor people pay $25 bucks for a story that makes them special..

There's a sucker born every minute

I traced mine back to Charlemagne in the mid 700s.

My family has a family tree (an actual sketched tree with roots and branches with the names of ancestors) made and framed by my great grandfather. I'm the oldest of my cousins and the last addition when it was finished. It goes back at least five generations to Genoa, Italy, and certain parts of Spain.

I have a cousin who is a genealogist and teaches it in a college. She lives for this stuff.

LetterTwenty7 · 03-15-2021, 02:33 AM

If I tell you who my great great great grandfather was, I'll have to kill you.

Clam · 03-15-2021, 06:44 AM

I know who my father is, if that's what you mean. :D

TheLegacy · 03-15-2021, 06:48 AM

Funny we had this conversation a week or so ago. I've traced my back several generations and have a connection to vikings which I had no idea about. What's horrible is the website asks you to pay a small fee and when you get started - by the time you get to a few generations - you start going overseas - now another fee shows up for those records. That being said - finding also a connection with albert schweitzer was pretty cool

Grapesoda · 03-15-2021, 07:34 AM

just to the 1840's, from speaking with my relatives

03-15-2021, 07:38 AM

Just to mid 19th century, they were sheep herders.

BaldBastard · 03-17-2021, 10:59 PM

I buy bottles of Laphroaig whisky so I can claw back my Scottish heritage 1 meter of peat at a time.

trevesty · 03-18-2021, 05:03 AM

My grandma and her dad did this a few years before he died. Thankfully his surname was relatively easy to trace, but on that side, we've been in the US since at least the 1750's going direct from great grandfather -> his dad -> his dad, etc.

lock · 03-18-2021, 05:14 AM

Turns out i am a Jedi.

S3X_Jay · 03-19-2021, 09:45 AM

On my dad's side I got back to 1046 with one branch of my family tree. Not sure if it's accurate, but…

There was one point where there were like 7 guys in a row all named the John Woodbridge.

My mom was from the south, so couldn't get back past the Civil War with her side of the family. I'd see notes saying the records were burned by Sherman…

But the interesting thing was that everyone on my mom's side immigrated before the Civil War (who'd want to move to the south after the South lost the war?) and on my dad's side (New England) most of the immigration was in the 1600s, though my last name comes a series of 4 generations of grandfathers that seemed to keep going back to Northern Ireland in the 1700s and early 1800s to have babies.

Rochard · 03-19-2021, 10:25 AM

Tracing my father's side has been interesting. On my father's side it seems I am Swiss.

On my other's side... Great grandfather came from Russia and that is where the trail ends.

ruff · 03-19-2021, 01:25 PM

Yeah, my father's side of the family is Welsh and Mother's side Scottish. We showed up in America sometime in the 1840's. The rest is potatos.

To the Romans

escorpio · 03-19-2021, 08:35 PM

Early 1600's. The Brittain family came to America around 1660, moved to Canada in 1783, came back to the US in 1883.

Jazzix · 03-20-2021, 03:41 AM

At least to the 1200's

celandina · 03-20-2021, 07:08 AM

My maternal grand,gran, grandmother was an illegitimate daughter of Klemens Wenzel Lothar von Metternich. I did not search anything else

newB · 03-20-2021, 07:57 AM

I have a massive book that traces back my paternal grandmother's side of the family to early colonialist. They didn't come over on the Mayflower, but it wasn't long after.

pornlaw · 03-21-2021, 01:33 AM

1083 in Italy from a census of monks in the monasteries in Salerno...

Ive spent 16 years traveling to Italy and spending hours in various archives gathering docs. Started with Ancestry.com and its been an expensive rabbit hole to go down.

One ancestor was an attorney to the Vatican and his personal papers are in the "hidden" Vatican Archives and I cannot get in to see them...

Very interesting... I grew up in Woodbridge NJ which was named after Reverend John Woodbridge, from Newbury Mass who first settled there in 1664...

Any relation ?
