I have four for myself and three for my husband. We each have a main tree and one specific to maternal lines.
One of mine is the Southern branch of my paternal line. One son went north and one son went south. Different mothers. Boring to most. LOL
Back in the day, my paternal line fought in the Rev War
(at least some did). Others were Tories and hightailed it to Canada.
You want stories, I got stories! ;-).
Not boring at all. I find genealogy totally fascinating and have been having a ball researching my family tree for the past few years.
A few high points, and trust me I’m not bragging here, millions upon millions of people can trace to the same lines.
Earliest ancestor in the new world I’ve found so far is about 1610.
Can trace direct lineage to the Plantagenet kings of England.
Directly descended from William the Conquerer
Directly descended from Charlemagne
It can go the other way too, my 4th great grandmother may have been a prostitute at one time in England.
The sad part is I cannot trace my surname line back past my great great grandfather. It’s been a complete and total dead end.
Genealogy is at times tedious and taxing, but there’s always some surprise waiting around the bend.
