As more and more records go online, it is getting easier to trace ancestors but also to remain vigilant and check, check and check again. The last thread asking the question in this thread title was from 2011, and lots more records have come online since then. And new Rootschatters have joined, and ones on the site in 2011 will still be researching.
My ancestor Martha Luxford born 1644 in Sussex has got me back a very long way. Her family were gentry, as her maternal grandfather was a knight, and Martha's family are listed in visitations, and her ancestors had land in Somerset, Hampshire and Essex. I found a Sussex visitation pedigree going way back to the 1100s with the Naldrett's of Rudgwick, Sussex. So the 1100s is as far back as I have gone now so far.
