I'm using Ancestry.Com to do my family genealogy. So far I have 862 people in the family tree. I trace 4 family lines: 1. My fathers father (McGee) 2. My fathers mother (Braeudigam) 3. My mothers father (MCGary) 4. My mothers mother (Sutton) Number 1 ends in Ireland. Number 2 ends in Germany Number 3 ends in Ireland Number 4 ends in Ireland After going back to the 1200's in Germany I had enough and deleted most of it. I now only go back to the members that first came to America in the early 1800's. Eventually I will follow the Irish lines as far as I can in Ireland. One BIG problem is the spelling of names, such as McGary, McGarry, McGeary, MaGary and McGory. All within the same family line. The McGee line has the same problem. Census takers spelled a name the way they "thought" it was spelled instead of asking. It is very interesting. I have lost relatives in the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, Mexican War, "The Indian Wars" and the Civil War. In the then wilderness frontier of western PA they fought Indians from The Six Nations. Tough people back then. Terry ------------- RP-175 W/Lift Kit 2011 Ford F-150 4X4 Saint Augustine, FL: The first permanent European settlement in the USA: 1565 |

My Wife is really big into this. She has Traced her Lines back to England, Dayton France, Doiron (changed name to Gould after the exile of the Acadians) Scotland, Fleet and Stewart Ireland, Greer And maybe Wales. She is not sure if the Murray line is English or Welsh.
I started to do mine and my English Irish Mothers family was fairly easy but my Fathers French Native American family is a mess and I could not get to far with it. Its funny but my wife has ancestors that fought on the opposite side of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 to yours and I can't prove it but I may have ancestors that fought on the opposite side of the Indian wars. ------------- Sean, 2011 Rpod RP-173,2009 Jeep Liberty Rocky Mountain Edition
