Hmm, Welsh ancestry anyone?!

GGps:Umm, there was a George I'm fairly sure. Shamefully, I don't know, never having known them.

DH is much more illustrious and had a GD Thornton and GGD Hezekiah!

Super impressed by hula and eatyour's lists :)

Fascinating thread.

This is just a show-off thread for family history buffs, init?
(My turn)

GGPs: William, Sarah, Samantha, Robert, Raiford, Nellie, Neil, Martha, Margaret, Laura, Joshua, Joseph, George, Flora, Ella, Alexander

I'd get hopelessly confused trying to reliably write down all their parents' names, although I have it all worked out for GGGP generation. I start losing data after that [sulk].

Genealogical smuggery! :o

GPs - Nell, Samuel, Elizabeth, Albert

GGPs - Eliza, Crossley, Rose, Joseph, Mary, William, Anne

lljkk - the software I use does it for me.

Not smug, but am pleased how well my ancestry search has gone since I started last October. Still loads to do though.

eatyourveg - that's fab! The post even looks great too - nice pyramid!
Not that far back yet - need some more unusual names to chase.

Which package do you use, Hula? I can't face entering all my vast info into adatabase, even though I could see the value of it, just dread the tedium of it.

I can't help it... being sucked in:

GGGPs: Jesse, Elizabeth, Jeptha, ?, Charles, probably Sarah, Hartwell, ?, Windsor, Sarah?, Nelson, Harriet, Hector, Catherine, Jane, Jonathan, ?, ?, Priscilla, John, Ward, Eliza, Silas, Nancy, John, Henry, Mary Ellen, Sarah, John, Alexander, Mary Ann

Some professor in Scotland did ours for us as part of a study she was doing on one of my relatives - we only had the first couple of hundred years from family Bibles and having lived on the same farm since 1742 (I think thats the right date) which made it much easier.

At the risk of sounding a bit paranoid, I always wonder if there is a hidden motive for threads like this. If you think you have recognised a close friend or family member it's a very good way to narrow down the field, isn't it?

Mercia,Jimmy, Doreen and Patrick for GPs. For GGPs: Ada, Eric, Sarah. Suddenly sad to realise I don't know the rest.

GPS - margaret, maud,Joseph,Dominick
GGPS - margaret,terence,catherine-Sarah, ernest, catherine,francis, Thomas,catherine (extreme lack of imagination in the female naming!!)
GGGPS - margaret, Alice, Constantine, Dominick, Mary, Joseph

On my maternal side:

Minna and Eric

GGP:

Frieda and Ernest

GGGP:

Minna and Theodor

GGGGF:

August

I know my great grandmothers names : Florence,Anne,Elin,Rebecca.

Think one of my paternal great grandfathers was called George. One of my maternal great grandfathers may also have been called George thinking about it.

I read someone that in terms of families,by the time you get three generations down from your own,your name is likely to have been forgotten. Is a bit sad but seems true of my great fathers.

lljkk - I have Family Tree Maker which is linked to ancestry.com

There's a nursery out there right now where all their namesakes are running around, all except... Muriel, but maybe I'm wrong.
