The Dawn of Time
« on: Wednesday 04 May 05 13:46 BST (UK) »
I  was sat here wondering when do you throw in the towel!

And how far back can a person realistically research there family tree.

The furthest I can go back is 1062 (partly done by a fellow researcher thankfully on th LDS) Verification of these members of my tree is still needed.

Looking forward to seeing the results!

;D We've got a couple German Palatine families going into the 1600's, but can only just touch the 1700's with our British ancestors.  :-\
