Born Hunter 17,751 Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 My paternal uncle traced part of ours back to the 1600s and it was all pretty boring tbh. As a family we've not even left the f***ing county, LOL. There was villages a stones throw from where I was brought up mentioned 400 years ago..... Hardly suprising, my sername is rare as f**k, the origins having been lost in time but coming from rural Lincs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I'm scared to do mine, I reckon my bloodlines cross over far too many times and I'd rather not know about it! Both branches of my family are old local ones and im related to everybody. My daughter has relatives that are related to her through my family and her mums family..
