Australia: March 2003 to present.

USA: January 1999 to December 2002.

England: From 1066 or shortly thereafter

, though it's possible that they had ancestors who'd left Britain for France in the 5th Century (the family name is probably from Brittany originally).

Dad's side came from East Prussia sometime in late 1890s best I can tell. Mom's side German from way back, late 1700s, early 1800s. There's some Irish in there somewhere too I think.

Hmmm...1592. Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo is a very distant relative of mine.

There are also family records that show there has been an Osio in California since the late 1600's. One of my ancestors, Antonio Maria Osio, was also the military commandant for Alta California and was the original owner of Angel Island in San Francisco Bay when the governor of California gave him the island to raise his cattle in 1837.

This is another house that was built back in 1849 by another one of my ancestors.

Osio Adobe

The Cherokee side has been here, well, a long time. The German side since the late 1800's.

Circa -800 BC on my father side, from the plains of Slovakia on my father's side with some gallic tribes. By the 1530's on my mother's side, a jeweller from Genoa who crossed the Alps and settled in Marseille... In France of course
