Top that!

I can top that by one more generation brother.

Adam did have one who was before him and I, like Adam, am a child of God.

Not even the big bang tops that one (even if it were true)

English, Welsh and Scottish blood line.

My mom's ancestors arrived here in N.B. in the early 1800s. The first guy who arrived from England was a naval sea captain. He served under Lord Nelson.

My dad's family were shipbuilders .... arrived also early 1800s from Wales. Nothing terribly illustrious or notorious.

I don't know about that. Sea Captain - ship builders - sailors. Hmmmmm..

My mom says it explains our love for travel -- it's in the blood. Could be she's right.

It was fun learning about our history but making contact with a part of our family that we had previously known nothing about has truly been the most rewarding part of the process.

He actually did most of the research into the far reaching parts of our genealogy and he maintains a website with updated information on all living family members etc.

He began searching because, despite the way his father had done the family, he wanted his children to know their ancestry and where they came from.

These types of stories certainly are needed in a world where we are bombarded with so much negativity. Thanks for sharing this story!

On my mothers side I have a cousin who traced the family back to the 1500's.

There are some intersecting thing in it.

my great, great, great grandfather was a Travis and first cousins to William B. Travis of the Alamo.

A relative way back there once owned a large portion of what is now downtown New Orleans.

Three of my great, great uncles where founding members of a Baptist church (First Baptist of Hemphill, TX). Two of the were disfellowshiped twice for getting drunk. LOL.
