Fun fact, approximately 1/4 of all people born in Mongolia or China are descendant from Genghis Kahn. That's 335,000,000 or 20 million more than the population of the US.
Also, going through my family's personal records, one of my ancestors was personally killed by Robert the Bruce.

Some of my kin folk got stoned with Robert the Plant.
I paid an extra 20 bucks for the more in depth search, and found out that I'm related to Adam of Eden.

My mom has been doing genealogy work for our family for a while. She fell in love with ancestry.com. I think it's pretty neat!

Funny never got that far back but my family traces our lineage back on both sides from my dads side we go back to a time when the Normans invaded England in 1066; on my dads side of the family that is enough to know that someone in our family helped William the Conqueror when he invaded. There have been attempts to push back in time farther than that but no one has gone to the Normandy region of France to try and go back farther.
On my mother side of the family they can trace back through James Buchanan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Buchanan) and Peter Stuyvesant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Stuyvesant) and that side can track the family back into early Scottish history on the Buchanan side as well as the Dutch Stuyvesant side as well.

He is my 76th great grandfather

what function on the website did you use to get that result?

Never said I agreed with the dang yankee or his politics from way back then. On my dads side of the family they fought against that side of the family but then again that was back in the civil war.

Go back a thousand years or so and you're equally related to an awful lot of people. Quite a lot of kings in that list, too many if you ask me. I think more realistically most of us are related to an obscure peasant somewhere in Eastern Europe.
There is an Irish king, Niall of the Nine Hostages 1500 years back whose DNA is carried by millions of people all over the world. He had a lot of kids apparently. Anywhere the Irish went but particularly prevalent in the North west of Ireland. Which as it happens is where my maternal Grandfather came from. So I may indeed be related to a King. But our family have trouble figuring out what happened to our paternal Grandfather who was a sailor and disappeared mysteriously sometime in the thirties. If we can't figure that one out, what chance do we have going back a thousand years?
On the other hand a legendry warrior who shares my surname was killed at the Battle of Clontarf way back in 1014! Given how few people have that name. There has to be a connection.

I need to delve into my Irish history, its a little hard living in the states though. I do know that one of my Uncles was executed by the Brits :uhoh . My dad did say our family name (O'Conghaile) carries some respect though.

cool site, not cheap though. a cousin of mine has been researching for years now and gone back a long way, but the trail goes cold in 1276!

I'm related to "Dashing" Jack O'reardon.
He was a lady's man and gambler.
Poor "Dashing" Jack, they found him floating in the Chicago River with a knife in his back.
That's as famous as it gets for me. Some guy that made the papers... in the obits.

He is related to Jimmy Carter?
If you could make every single possible decision to ensure the Civil War. You would be Buchanan.

I know my great grandmother and her sister came over from county Clare Ireland when they were both really young. I don't know much about my fathers side past the civil war.

Oddly enough, my brother in law (I think ~29 yo) has struck up a good relationship with another Ancestry.comaholic, my grandmother (born in '28 or '29 I think).

I need to delve into my Irish history, its a little hard living in the states though. I do know that one of my Uncles was executed by the Brits :uhoh . My dad did say our family name (O'Conghaile) carries some respect though
O'Conghaille = Connolly, quite a common name. But could you be related to the famous James Connolly one of the leaders of the 1916 rising, who was executed by the British in even though he was dying of wounds anyway? Or is that family legend? He's pretty famous.
The Brits didn't actually execute that many people. In fact the Irish executed more Irishmen in the civil war that followed than the British ever did. I'm afraid I spoiled my wife's cherished family story about their Grandad. Apparently he often told the tale of how he sat in his cell in prison and saw his friends being taken away and shot by the merciless Brits. Interested, I researched it and discovered that in fact he was probably on the losing side of the civil war as were his friends and they were executed by the merciless Irish army :O
Here's a website which lists a lot of people who died or were executed in one form or other at the time.
Maybe he's in there somewhere.

Well you should be able to trace what actually happened to your uncle. The events of the time are well documented. It could be very interesting.

No that would have to be Barak Obama. :cheers:

Good ol' Joaquin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joaquin_Murrieta) is pretty much the only interesting person in my family without dating the other side back to everybody that ever visited Germany and Poland. (Why do I get the feeling the German/Polish merging in the family wasn't a desired one? :D)
No that would have to be Barak Obama. :cheers:

Most of the info at Ancestry.com you can get for free on other websites (findagrave.com, familysearch.org, worldconnect, etc), but ancestry.com does have a great search engine that covers multiple sources. The question is do you want to pay $200 a year.

I tried Ancestory.com, my niece had uploaded a significant bit of our family tree, but when it looked for me, my family etc, didn't find it, or hardly anything. All it came up with was one thing, a copy of a card, I think it might have been a draft card, of my grandfathers, and it was so fuzzy as to make it unreadable and useless. I tried pointing it to the records she put up, with stuff like my Fathers full name, etc. Nope, didn't find anything. Waste of time, and if I went past the free trial I think it would have been a waste of money.
-
My Ancestors opted out. :D
-
I traced mine back as far as I could, but if you have southern heritage it's tough. So many records were destroyed during the Civil War.

Beautiful rugged scenery out in Connemara, an hour's drive out there on a Sunday for me. I'm sure there's plenty of Connollys out there. Connemara is one of the places everyone should visit at least once.
My boss is planning to set up a service flying scenic flights out to Connemara from Galway. He reckons tourists would be queueing up for it.

I don't think aliot of low,low middle and middle class Americans have many records. My mother looked used ancestry and found out we are relations of Walt Whitman John Wayne and Desi Arnez. Pretty cool how some people connect on those sites and swap stories such as this gem :
"The Robsons were at feud with the Grahams of Netherby and Liddesdale. So they made a foray, and drove the Grahams' sheep into Tynedale. Unfortunately, the sheep turned out to be scabbed, and communicated the disease to their flocks about Falstone. Upon this the Robsons made a second raid, took seven of the most substantial Grahams they could lay hands on, and hanged them out-of-hand, with the warning to others that "the neist tyme gentlemen cam to take their schepe they war no to be scabbit."
I think I must have taken after this branch in my tree as I tend to spell like them, but dont blame me for the missing schepe in AH.

Wow that would be a fun job! Im considering going out there to work the summer at the family B&B if i can afford a plane ticket. Would certaintly be fun I just cant scrounge up the money. My dad has been there a few times (hes first generation american).

Well due to my religious upbringing and beliefs, my family was doing genealogy/family history long before it was popular to do so. Long before there was such a thing as the internet, or even computers.
Personally I greatly question the accuracy of .com sites like that. They could tell you almost anything and unless you've done the research to back it up yourself how would you know? Unless somebody has already done it for you, I believe it takes a lot more work then that to get an accurate family pedigree.
Nobody really famous in my direct lineage that I know of (some believe William Wallace is in my direct line, but it's not been proven) although if you branch out indirectly you can find lots of interesting stuff.
Check this out

and this
https://www.familysearch.org/learn/wiki/en/images/0/02/Hutchinson_pedigree.jpg
you only have to go back 10 or 12 generations to find the common ancestor of George Bush, Mitt Romney, Franklin Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, Gerry Ford, Richard Nixon, Joseph Smith etc.. pretty amazing.
BTW the website www.familysearch.org is a fantastic resource for family history research, they have all kinds of records, it's free, and you don't have to register or anything like the .com sites. Also if you stop by the Family History Library in downtown Salt Lake City they will even spend as much time as you want helping you research free of charge. They also have small satellite centers all over the world linked into the main library with volunteers to help out.
Lately the big news in genealogy is that the 1940 census was just released.

Also, going through my family's personal records, one of my ancestors was personally killed by Robert the Bruce.
sorry.
don't mind if i keep up the family tradition in AH do you?

Go back a thousand years or so and you're equally related to an awful lot of people. Quite a lot of kings in that list, too many if you ask me. I think more realistically most of us are related to an obscure peasant somewhere in Eastern Europe.
But then sites like ancestry.com wouldn't be popular :rolleyes:
