My mother's family came from England in 1636...I think Puritans. I took her family back another 200 yrs of so. Hard to verify that far back though.
My Dad's family came from Englamd about 1663. I only know them since then...all by other's work in the family. I'm trying to find if his grandmother who was a Paine, is a collateral relation of Robert Treat Paine. I know she wasn't directly. But Robert (a signer of the Declasation) was a lawyer practicing in Portland, Maine. And my greatgrandmother's family lived just outside the city.
Yes, Josie, it is fun...but can be very time consuming.
