Has anyone started thier family tree and traced it very far back? If so, were you able to do this without older family? (none are live) What rescources did you use? Furthermore, has anyone ever done it and found somthing interesting or funny?

I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING MY FAMILY TREE FOR MANY YEARS. SOME BRANCHES WERE EASY AND SOME WERE HARD. I HAVE INCLUDED ALL BRANCHES IN MY TREE. WHILE MY PATERNAL GRANDFATHER'S LINE I HAVE NOTHING. MY BOYFRIENDS PATERNAL GRANDMOTHER'S WAS A CINCH. IT ALL DEPENDS ON THE RECORDS KEPT AND HOW POPULAR YOUR LAST NAME IS. ANCESTRY.COM AND ROOTSWEB.COM WERE THE BIGGEST HELP TO ME. THE CENSUS RECORDS ON ANCESTRY.COM WERE THE BIGGEST. ALTHOUGH YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THERE RESOURCES THE MONEY IS WORTH IT.
