How well do you know your family history?  

Unfortunately, I don't know that much about my family's history. I know the names of the people back a few generations, but not how they died or anything. I do not of some of the illnesses the run in my family just over the last generation, such as cancer and such. I wish there was a way to find out more!

Wow! That's really great! This is one of the stories I learned from my great grandmother before she died. My great grandmother was half spanish and her Name was Veronica Aguinaldo. She always told us that Emilio Aguinaldo was also a distant relative of ours. I dont know if I should believe it but I think its just a nice thing to think about thinking that you are related to a hero.

I live in a small village located in south of china,all the villager here have the same name,Huang,undoubtedly,all of us are relatives.there are many other villages in china like my village,so some village call Huang village,Zhang village,Li village and so on.

hi ndubose I have wor ked on my family tree for years, and i know that my great grandmother Elizabeth Ladd came down fron John the Emigrant Ladd o f England in 1400 and so on down to her husband James Clark to my grandfather Thomas C Clark and then my dad Oscar H Clark. not any famous people although Christopher Ladd Elizabeths father was almost hanged for murder of a confederate soldier but they caught the real culprit at the last moment and cut him down before it was too late. Also my grandfather Thomas Clark was the chaplain in the White house during the last years of the civil war. Also my gr gr grandfather Spencer with a group of other Missouri Union ex soldiers were held for murder but finally all were let go as they cou ld not prove for s ure these guys did the murder of the confederate soldier or not. so seems they got off when they were probably guilty as sin.

I must say that I don't know it very well at all. It was only after starting my family tree that I found out that my maternal grandparents first born died at 2 years old. All these years I thought that my eldest aunt was the oldest child. So, it was rather surprising to me when my mom told me otherwise after I asked her about her side of the family.

Happy mylotting!

When my Nanna was alive (She died in 2007 aged 100), I did a lot of research into my family tree and found out some fascinating things. It is wonderful researching your ancestors. I visited a church some of them were bburied in and it was surprisingly moving. There were my great great great great grandparents (I think it was) there.
