hmm what would you recommend?
 
Personally, I'd want to order the 238.00 package as I want to know where both sides of the family comes from.
 
Again, great minds thinking as one!!

If you've got that money just sitting around saying "Spend me! Spend me!" it's kind of a cool thing to do, but don't expect a whole lot in the way of details.
 
I prolly have a few Huns in my family tree or Native blood or both. My teeth have the famous shovel shape.

It does go way back beyond 100 years, it goes back, theoretically, to thousands of years ago. It does NOT give you anything specific, like "Your grandparents came from Ballantyre and your great-grandparents from Edinburgh," or anything at all along those lines.

It's more "Your ancestry is (Caucasian, African, Asian....) and your roots are in (Northern Europe, Africa, Asia)..."

Really, it's probably not much more than what you already know, although I suppose some people might be surprised that they have some bit of ancestry they never knew about. If you participate in their projects maybe that might be fun, tracing your family name, but personally, I had no success with that. My maiden name is somewhat unusual, and I never found anyone with that name on the site, although I have found my own relatives in Italy. My name takes up about half a page in the Florence (Italy) phone-book, so it's not unusual there, just here in the U.S.

I have the opposite problem with my last name. It's Smith. Need I say more? :P
 
I use Family Tree Maker software and membership in Ancestry.com for organizing and adding details to my family tree. The basic data I have is from family documents.
 
:laugh2:

Yeah, that will be real easy to trace!!

When I married my British husband, I traded in my nice unusual name for a bland Anglo-Welsh name. Sigh. Sometimes I wish I had just kept my full maiden name. I liked always being the only one of that name in the phone book here. Not anymore; our name is pretty common.

Hey, we are probably related. That was my biological mother's maiden name.

But that was the Smith's that are Cherokee....

My interest in this site would be more to find out what ethic groups both sides of my family came from than in tracing family names. I've always wanted to know if I have Hun or Indian blood.
 
Almost everyone who is European has Hun blood. Those guys got around. And they did not believe until waiting for marriage for sex. :lol:

American Indian do you mean, or India Indian?
 
I was 1/4 lucky. My dad's mom's side kept a book. A very long book. That is where my "part black" comes from. It's amazing that part of the family made it to me.....we lost alot of people in the Civil war.....fighting for both sides.

American. I think it's highly unlikely that my ancestors ever came from India.

As for the Huns, it's my understanding that many Europeans of German and Swiss German are descended from the Huns but that other enthic groups in Europe weren't as affected by Genghis Khan and his army. The women prolly suffered greatly from the invasion.
