The genealogy research sounds pretty involved if you have to go all the way to the National Archives! Are you tracing it just in the US or does it involve records of immigration, too?

Right not, the research only involves US. I really need to send off for my mother's greatgrandfather's Civil War records. The last time I was at the National Archives, I found where he had served in Warren Co., TN. This is the side of the family where there were both Union and Confederate soldiers. Literally, a split family. I already have the certificate of service in the Confederate Army from my dad's greatgrandfather. He joined at Vicksburg, but missed the battle because he was sent away on detail.
Also on my dad's side, there were many Revolutionary War vets. Two of which are direct my ancestors. However, I do not have the proof that DAR requires, and am not sure I have the patience to dig it all up. I am just amazed and content knowing that all my direct lines were in America before the Revolutuionary War.
