Tracing Family roots

[Celtic Amazon Goddess]

i wasn't sure where to put this so monteraters please feel free to move it. ok so to start off i was trying to make a fammily tree for my family and I. I got my cousin involed and what we uncovered was more than a can of worms to say the least. we have now traced back to 500 A.D. yes that number is correct. we have come from many lands , England where my family still holds title to a castle and much land. Germany although i can find no living relatives there. ireland and france. well that a mix of people if i have ever seen one. my cousin has found pictures of some of the family that are quite old i hope to get a copy soon to share . we also have came across a picture of the ship Hope that my family was on to come to the USA. Has anyone else traced there roots back this far ? Or i am the only one absessed enough to do such a thing. its been a long 3 years tracking all the informaion. lol

For you guys doing research have you tried onegreatfamily?They are awesome you put in your line as much as you got and they go through everyone on the site see if you have common family and give you option to merge line with them.The goal of the site is to connect everyone in the world eventually.They even send you emails with possibles amd all merges if you want them done automatically.If you go tell them brandyriddle sent you.

Sorry to disappoint you, but there just aren't any reliable genealogical records for anyone much earlier than a few generations before Charlemagne, around 800 AD, and those are only of the royaly and aristocracy of course. Virtually everything prior to that is legend, myth and conjecture. As are quite a few genealogies after that time.
