What's the farthest back you've been able to go in your family tree? I won't make you give me sources, but let me know if it's mostly speculation, or if you're sure. 
So far, I've gone back to the 1600's, and I'm pretty sure everything's correct. I still have a lot of work to do, though. |

Blessings to you all

I'm not a hundred percent sure because I hardly know a thing about that side of the family. On my dad's side, unfortunately, we can only go back to the early 1900's. The only person who knew any of the family history never talked about it and has long been dead. I did come across some names back from the 1500's who were Polish aristocrats during the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth but there is no way to confirm that they are distant family since there are no records.

I am lucky enough that my 5x great grandmother was descended from a lot of European Royalty.
Some of my ancestors are classed as "semi-legendary"
Her husband my 5x gt grandfather's line also goes way back.
One other line goes back to 1405, but most of them only traceable to the 1570s and later.
One line I haven't got back before 1802 yet, but thats my worst one

Reps: 166,723 (power: 174) | | | On my mother's side, back to Edward Culver who came to America in 1635 and from whom every Culver (or Colver) in America is descended. There are no Culvers in England as he adopted the last name when he arrived here.
On my father's side, definitely back to 1735 when our namesake settled in what is now West Virginia. We have fairly definite sources tracing our family back to the Roman Empire when our name was first adopted. Two Roman Catholic saints are in our family line and there is a church dedicated to one in Bavaria, I believe. |
