I was able to trace my Puerto Rican side all the way back to 14th century France, possibly to battle with William the Conqueror in the 11th century, but I’m still verifying those connections. The Europeans kept amazing records, so if you have significant European heritage you may be able to trace it that far back. I was even able to see a painting/portrait of my 5th grandmother (and read a letter from her!) who traveled from England to France, then from France with my 5th grandfather to Puerto Rico in the 17th century. I was able to zero in on what my family did for a living back in France before they came to Puerto Rico to start a large farm/plantation. I found out it was coffee on the plantation, and being successful salt trappers/running a saline in France. It’s so cool to find so much out about your family history!

I lost my father just after my 4th birthday, never really knew much about them. I met my paternal grandparents only twice, once in 1974, and again in 1976, by which time Grandpa had dementia. It’s been so frustrating not knowing much about these folks. I know that Grandpa was Welsh and Grandma was English/German, but…not a whole lot more than that. My Welsh great-grandmother died just prior to her 100th birthday when I was around 3 years old, but I don’t remember her. I’d love to know more about my father’s people and even though I knew my mother’s family quite well, there are some hidden secrets I would LOVE to know more about. I know I am of Irish descent on my mother’s side but we didn’t talk much about the ancestors because Grandma was a northerner from Massachusetts and Grandpa was a southerner from Alabama. So…yeah, we didn’t talk about their ancestors who probably fought against each other in the Civil War. That was a big no-no to talk about that subject. 😕 Wish Dr. Gates could help me break through generations of “great family silences” to uncover the truth about my ancestors. 😕

I heard that Grandma (my father’s mother) knew a great deal of our genealogy, but she died decades ago and I never got to know her. Which frustrates me to no end. I wish we hadn’t grown up not knowing my father’s family. Just leaves a Mack truck sized hole in my knowledge of who he was and where his people came from. 😕

@@ijustneedmyself, I do remember a few tiny fragments of my father, not many, but just a very few memories of him. I was so young when Daddy died that it’s hard to remember now all the way back nearly 63 years ago. My mother died almost two years ago now and honestly, we rarely if ever spoke of Daddy: we were estranged from his family (old weird religious stuff…long story…) so we didn’t even get to know his people. Once in a very blue moon, we could get our mother to talk about Daddy, but…he was rarely ever brought up in conversation, unfortunately. So he remains a shadowy figure whose surname I bear but about whom I know almost nothing. It’s incredibly frustrating and now that my mother is gone, it’s even worse. That entire generation has passed and nobody’s left to tell me about him. So I have to dig and see what I can find out about his life. Just tidbits like he served in WWII (1943-46, United States Army, discharged as a Corporal) and was at work on his Ph.D. at the time of his death in a 1961 car accident. Wish I knew a lot more about his life and times, but I know too little to be satisfied that I knew him. I truly didn’t, unfortunately, and it’s left a huge hole where I feel an emptiness and have my whole life. I’m dying to know more about who he and his people were. Such a loss that has left too many unanswered questions. 😕

As a man who descends from slavery here in the States, I've only had the opportunity to go back a few generations because I've hit the dreaded wall. I've also done my 99.9% European wife's tree with DNA testing. I was able to trace her roots back to England in the 1390s. It has absolutely blown our minds & it's something we've shared with our children. I also discovered that my wife's grandfather wasn't her biological grandfather. It was actually a 90 year old man living in Texas with 6 other children besides my mother in law. Thankfully, the biological grandfather & his children were very welcoming to my wife's family. They even had the chance to play catch up for all of the time missed. When he passed away last year, he even put my mother in law into his will & absolutely loved his biracial great-grandchildren. He is missed by us all.

My mum worked for years doing the genealogy of my dad's family. With help from church records and a very excited municipal service worker in Quebec ( we lived in BC) they were able to go back to the first family members to reach Canada in 1673. That was following my father's surname. There are of course just as many female lines all the way back but at least we know the names of all our grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins within the direct paternal line. It's amazing to have that information. My dad's direct line ends at my nephews generation. I had two brothers but one died before having children and my surviving brother has only one child, a son, who does not want children. My dad had one brother who had three sons but they all had daughters so this line.of my dad's surname is done.
