If you put in your bio father's name and what you think the DOB is (even just the year will work), you may find him on ancestry.com

I have done some checking out my bio fathers lineage,so far it go's from Smakover ark.to to Florida then Cuba(great great great grand pop was a coffee bean plantation owner) to Spain where he got the land grant for the property.I have a cousin who has some connections at one of the universite's so now I am waiting for information from them.Cousin P has dual citizenship in Italy so she is there now looking for more from our Italian family that she has gotten to know well...the search go's on.

I'm German Jewish on my moms side and Scotland Irish on my dads side. I haven't done much research on it. I'm thinking of doing a DNA test at some point in the future. It will be interesting I think what the results would say.

I work on my tree from time to time, I mainly focus on my fathers side, but am also working on my mothers side too.

Currently I have my fathers side traced back to 1755, but seem to be stuck from there. I am pretty sure at that point they came to the US from some where else, but where that some where else is, I am not entirely sure and I don't want to pay more money at this time to have access to international records on ancestry.

On my mothers side, I am currently stopped at my great grandmother, unfortunately I don't have a lot of information about my mothers side of the family, nor can I really get the information easily.

I did my DNA test last year and found out that I'm more Irish than Italian, which was a surprise since my father swears his side is full-blooded. I also have no link to Japan, as I suspected. Instead, I'm Portuguese, African, English and French (which I knew), Native American and Middle Eastern.

I am every woman!

I started doing genealogy because i wanted to know our ethnicity, so i wanted to know where we sailed from in Europe

I was able to place my dad's family on the 1632 voyage of the ship Lyon from England to America

I haven't made anywhere near that kind of progress on any of the other lines

I did take the DNA test and find out i'm 43% Irish/38% English/11% Scandinavian/8% "other European"

I need to get to work on the other lines, but i figure i'll eventually serve a year as a DAR registrar, and i'll have such great access then that it is silly not to wait

I would like to take the DNA test. My birth mother was some help but I want facts. The only thing we have proof of is that there is Cherokee in our bloodline. The rest seems foggy at best.

85% African (80% West African, 3% Central and South African, 2% Sub-Saharan African).

12% European (British, Irish, and Finnish which was a surprise. We always thought my dad's dad was German—that's where my grandad was born and German was his native language. But now we're thinking he was born in German, but his ancestors were British, Irish, and Finnish).

2% American Indian

1% Southeast Asia

I've visited some of these areas, but not all of them. A goal on my Bucket List is to visit all the countries my DNA can be traced to. Maybe I'll meet this goal or maybe I won't.
