Family History

On my Mom's side, Pearsall, Hapken, Rankin, to name a few :)

We have a street named after us. :)

@Anyone who wants to reply: What nationaliltys are you all? And what are some families (last names) that you are related to?

I honestly have no idea what nationality I am, except American… :P I think I heard something about us being part German, but I really don't know for sure.

Well…it is kind of obvious that you are American :D

I'm 50% Italian, 25% Irish, and a mix of English,Dutch, Welsh, and German.

I'm Italian, Irish, German, English, Scottish, and Russian.

Danielle and Ian: Thanks for telling me. Ever since I started researching family history I have been interested in what nationalities ever one is :D

I am mainly Italian, Irish, Scottish, Polish, and Swedish. But I am also French, German, and Prussian and perhaps Austrian.

Hmmm I wonder if any of us are related?? I mean by like less than 20 generations. :)

That would be cool! :D

IKR? What nationality(s) are you? :)
EDIT- oh wait that's right u already said you don't really know. :)

That would be neat but I highly doubt it. To find out though you would have to do some research on family history.

Yeah but I don't know how. :)

Make a family tree..put in your name, your parents names, as far back as you can. Then you search on google such as your great-grandmothers name and birth year (you'll be surprised how much comes up). Or you can search on family history websites (though some of them you have to pay for).

All I know so far is that we are part German and Welsh.

Neat!

Cool!

What are some websites you recommend? (besides ancestry)

Here are some I'll tell you more when I get more time.

Thanks! :)
BTW how's Bethany?

Bethany is pretty much back to normal except that she still looks really thin :)

@All: So is anyone researching family history now?

For some strange reason, I HIGHLY DOUBT that I am related to any of you by less then 20 generations. :D

I highly doubt it as well. :) I also doubt that any of us are related by less than 20 generations

Well, with so many people on these forums, you never really know! :)

We are ALL related through Jesus Christ!!! in fact, we're brothers and sisters! :D

Lol IKR? That's how all apple devices are. :P

Actually you can if you click on the '__ hours/minutes ago' or the 'in reply to _______' :)

You mean on a IPad etc?

Yeah!! I do all my commenting from my iPod touch. :) try it next time your useing the iPad.

Yep, that's right!

Yeah…… Sam was saying that he has 4 spiritual sisters but i tried to tell him that he had thousands, if not millions.

Lol he ment 'sista!' Sisters! Lol :) we r so homeschooled. ;)

My grandpa's great (several times over) uncle or grandpa (we can't agree on that one) was Henry Clay.

We are also somehow related to some criminal or rock star or something like that :P

Henry Clay? Cool! He almost became the President a few times, if I'm not mistaken, right? :)

Yeah, I think so. He is also the one who 'worked out the Missouri Compromise' according to Classical Conversations :)

That's cool your related to Henry Clay! :)

I am related to Susana White!!

That is so neat that you are related to Henry Clay!
