Know your family history?

My father's family is Irish on his father's side and English on his mother's side. The English side goes back to King Edward VI, the grandfather of Henry the VIII. The Irish side goes back to immigrants who had to drop the O in front of their last name in order to lessen the amount of discrimination they would face in the U.S. My mother's family has German heritage but I don't know much about their history other than the stories my grandfather used to tell about how he claimed to be Swiss during WWII so that people wouldn't hate him.

I know bits of my family history. I know my mother's family are English, she came out to Australia as a war bride after WW2. There was a special boat for all fiances of service men. I know a little about her family. I know her grandmother was cut off from a rich family because she married a man they did not approve of. I do not know much about my father's family other than they claim to belong to a clan from Scotland call the Gordon clan and that they were descended from a convict. Since Australia was settled as a convict colony that is not surprising. I have never done any research into either of these families so I do not know much about them.

I know a little about my family history according to my father. It is a long story! My grandma's last name is aixinjueluo, which is the emperor's family name of qing dynasty in China.

No, not quite.. I have an account registered at www.ancestory.com I really don't know my history... I do know that I come from a family that has Indians in it.. I mean real Indians.. the ones that wears the unique clothing... I am African American mixed with Indian.. So, I know that there is a conclusion of me being mixed.. I need to do further research into finding out what I really am..

Genes reunited is one of the large Internet sites that will help you trace your ancestors,I am not sure if it has a membership fee or not,but if it has the fee will only be a small yearly one.I think it would be interesting to research family history,what our forefathers did,and where we came from,we may well discover some skeletons in the cupboard.All I know is where my family originated from and very little else.There are online sites where you can look at the census and the electoral rolls,you can also obtain birth certificates online,plus wills and marriage certificates too.

ha re bab there is no time know about my details then how can i know about family history?

yeah,i know it. we have a history book of our family history,it can trace to thousand of years.

I know many things about my family. My family background and from where they come from everything. One of grandfather had research and written a book on our family. It consist of 12 generations before me. I read it. I know the things about my family background.

Hi there, tracing family history is fun too and sometimes boring depending really if you're listening to your grandfather mumble all the names of who and who LOL but anyways this is interesting. I have opened a site and joined about ancestry but so far I have not come up with many similar family names. In my masteral subject we were making a genogram sorta family tree but with more deatils. My Mom helped me with some of the names of her great grandparents but Dad's side only up to his grandfather. I'm from the Philippines and the persons in the family tree are from the Philippines too but the country has been under Spanish rule for 300 plus years and American and Japanese and others too. So, a mix of this and that maybe or 1% of whatever

I don't really know my family history especially on my dad's side because I don't have no contact with them.
