I have all 16 GGGGrandparents and 4 GGGGGrandparents on my Dad's side, not doing so well on Mum's side as they are Irish! On my husband's family about the same, back to the GGGGRandparents. Christine

Hi Karen It seems that my ancestors either married late and/or were younger children so my tree will be very short. My husband has an extra generation on his side going back to 1800, he has 6 to my 5. Heather
