Well, my mom's side of the family is remarkably very well documented - at least, for those who lived in the U. S. There are family reunions ad such that have put together comprehensive lists and such. The oldest members came over to the US in the 1600's, and beyond that it's fuzzy anyway, and I'm just trying to figure out where I came from.

It's really my Father's side I'm interested in, and that has the least information! I'd get one of the packages from Family Tree DNA, but I don't have a spare $900 sitting around waiting to be spent.
