[QUOTE="USincognito, post: 73781635, member: 21511"] Indeed. I have an older cousin who did it the old school way - books and microfilm - and gave me a great head start. I had as far back as 10 generations for a few lines she'd researched. Her mom was my grandfather's brother so it was all that particular line. My mom's mother, however, was a blank slate. I had my great-grandfather and my great-grandmother and that was it. Thankfully they both lead back to multiple Puritan Great Migration Ancestors and lived mostly in Massachusetts and more specifically one particular country. That made the paper trail a lot easier. I kept following Ancestry leafs, Wikipedia profiles and Google search results to add several hundreds more back to the colonial period and beyond to England. I even have three Gateway Ancestors who take me back to the Platagents and beyond making my total number near 13,000 direct ancestors. I could have accomplished very little of that if I didn't have the Internet and work others have done for me. [/QUOTE]
