[Facts] Just curious, Lu...
in reply to a message by Lu
in what time period did this Latin-named ancestor of yours live, and in what country or ethnic community?I ask only because in many cultures (UK, etc.), it's difficult to trace non-titled/peasant ancestors back very far. I felt gratified when we were able to trace my humble Scottish ancestors (rural fishermen) back to the 1780s and the French side (urban mercbants and craftspeople) back to the early 1600's.Of course, some societies' record-keeping was better than others -- amazing in light of the very thorough destruction places like France and Germany have experienced in this and earlier centuries).Please share your ancestor's context with us - I'm sure it'll be interesting.- Da.
