So, how far back can you track your family? I can, pretty far actually.  (A couple years back one of my great aunt/mother/sister something ;-) did a big genealogy. Tonight my husband and I got the book out and went though it. It was a lot of fun, actually.) Turns out I could be a daughter of the revolution. I have an ancestor who served in the revolutionary war. He was a private.  The first of my family is tracked back to England in the 1700’s.  We came to the US in 1703 and another ancestor owned 400 acres in the Virgina Colony.  I have an ancestor was a moonshiner, just like uncle Jesse. :-) Pretty neat actually.  It made history fun.
