I've been working on a family tree lately and found some pretty cool stuff that nobody (or few family members) seemed to know about.
One 3xGreat grandfather had 18+ children, all to the same woman.
Another ancestor apparently helped [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edmund_Barton]Edmund Barton[/url] become our first Prime Minister.
So anyway, I managed to track my Great-Grandmother's family back to the early 1700s.
How about yours?

I know where may family comes from, but not important figures past WW2. I am a mutt, I have roots in two native american tribes (high cheek bones), Vikings(my stature and blue eyes), Mediterranean( dark curly hair). and every where in between.
