Bunny, Sally and All, These charts are always interesting. It makes the little bit we have done seem like "a drop in a bucket of water". How far back have some of you been able to go? I am talking WITH DOCUMENTS to stand behind it. I have seen some who say they can go clear to Noah but where is the written proof?? I am able to document some of my lines to 10 generations but most are still sitting around 5 and 6 generations. Have one that I still cannot get the 5th great grandmother beyond her given name. This has taken years of looking to get where I am today. One is a little shaky with 14 generations, but pretty sure its correct. We have some "genealogy of family" without documents that take us to the first King of England but that one is just for fun. I haven't really looked into that yet. I will be happy as can be if I can just find Charlotts maiden name and who her parents were as well as her husbands parents. I might even "retire" for a while if I find this information. GRIN!
