#11 Ancestry.com/ Family tree and Geneology


I started Ancestry about 2 weeks ago and I'm addicted!
I encourage everyone to try it!

Started with DNA Collection. Lets see where it leads us in a month or 2 when we get the results back!




So far I found 3 family crests associated to Tony's family tree, and one Cattle brand associated to mine.
I discovered my 2nd great Grandfather Anton Aretz was the oldest surviving Civil war Veteran in Minnesota.



Found lots of Headstones of Ancestors

Had an amazing look into family whereabouts by researching census data



Made my Mom cry when I showed her what her Grandpa looked like.


Lots of interesting things about why and when our Ancestor's departed.
I'm continuing our search into family History,
 so far I've found a Dr. William Hammon 1490-1519 from England,
Tony's 11th Great Grandfather and my farthest link goes to
 Maria Catharina Octave 1695-1773 from Holland, my 7thGreat Grandmother.
Go out and LIVE people, or just stay home and fine out about the people responsible for you being here!
Enjoy!!
