Yes, it's true if the family name is very common it's more difficult and I always find it complicated to understand sometime who who sorry i explain myself the best i can and as my aunt is the cousin of my father but on the side of his mother, I always get mix up when they are too many family people involveI was able to trace an ancestor born in 1737 in Germany before emigrating to America. When you have a less common name it's not that difficult.
Can only go back to the father and mother of my great to the fourth grandfather.
Most of the records were in the wrong part of Germany and that part of the family generally doesn't want to talk to distant cousins who wore United States uniforms during the war.

Thank you very much, I think you have more immigrants from Great Britian in the early US, if I'm not mistaken?Both mom and dad's side of the family are English, came to New England (Massachusetts so far as I can tell), moved to Maine in the 1700's and married other folks from Massachusetts who originally came from Great Britain. They were fisherman, sailors, ship builders and sea captains, a lot of them. I don't much like the water, but I love being on a fast sailboat far from land. Maybe there's a little gene in there somewhere.
All of them that I've been able to find. Mom's side came in the 1600's, but I haven't been able to trace Dad's line back that far. Maine was a frontier and records have been destroyed if they ever existed.Thank you very much, I think you have more immigrants from Great Britian in the early US, if I'm not mistaken?Both mom and dad's side of the family are English, came to New England (Massachusetts so far as I can tell), moved to Maine in the 1700's and married other folks from Massachusetts who originally came from Great Britain.
