From a little irland in Norway on my fathers side, one of my uncles did some digging (many years - like Steel I guess) and my ancestors had the same name in the 1500's (1517 is the earliest we know of)
Mothers side: Sweden and Suomi Finland

this is a very intersting topic. im wondering if anyone has family web sites? we were very lucky that all my great granfathers kept alot of documented info so it made it easy to trace our tree back to the 1500s as land owners with coat of arms in scotland.



now we have a family web site which is a part of the family tree so you can easily add pics and info to your self and siblings . all of our family history is on the homepage and you have a tree option which you can click on anyones name and it brings up the pics and what they do etc... its really cool.

My mother is from Tromso North of Norway, my father is from Valdres in South of Norway. My mothers ancestors are from Sweden and Denmark. I think my fathers ancestors are from Norway

My last name is Wolf, Those Wolf's spelled with a "e" on the end, [WOLFE] came from England. Normal Wolf's came from Germany.



I'm also 1/8th Delaware Indian

4th generations back to Germany on my fathers and mothers side. So 100% Germany. From there, who knows.

My ancestors settled in Virginia in the mid 1700's from south central England. Come the american civil war, my great something grandfather fought with the red coats (don't hold that against me) and land was given to him in Nova Scotia for 'service' to the King after the war. We have been Canadian and/or loyal subjects ever since...

revolutionary war against the reds , also the reason why were having a cook out today ,civil war came later . whats interesting is we had settlers in nova scotia as well help wonder if its around the same time period.

Very interesting that so many of you are German. I didn't realize that so many Germans came here. I thought there was more Italian, Polish, etc. immigration than there appears on this post. I actually am a redman. Cherokee indian to be exact. Just need to get registered so I can hop on all those tax breaks and reparations.

A big thank you to the white man's tax dollars!

Feel free to blow all your money at my casino!

Ah, so your another one of us who has been fighting illegal immigration for a couple hundred years.

Mothers side German and Romary gypsy....Fathers side Italian..

My father's mother was from Armagh, N. Ireland. Her mother worked a Cunard line between Liverpool and New York. My mothers parents were from Sicily. My great uncle was at Pearl Harbor. My step grandfather (or something) was at Iwo Jima. My uncle was a MASH surgeon who didn't speak for years after coming home from Nam.
I know no stories about any of them because we don't talk about bad times in our family.
It's all roses and what not whey I'm told our history, except for the things we can't talk about, like Pearl Harbor or Vietnam....

Sorry, the wife's grandfather has told me LOT'S of stories about Iwo Jima. He totally rocks. He still takes "marine" showers, even when he comes to visit. 5 seconds of water... a few minutes later followed by 5 seconds of water.
This is neither here nor there.

Hey Axel, you ever hear of the Lowerys? Lumbee indians from Robenson county? I used to be best friends with james lowery's GG Grandson. He's the one who defeated the homeguard in Robenson. theres a book out about them called "Nowhere else on earth". He was just as crazy as they say is GG granpa was.

My family has been fighting terrorism since 1492.


And Keystone, I have heard of the Lumbees, but am not familiar with them. As for for the Lowerys, I know nothing about them.

I have 2 cousins that have done extensive research on this matter.

My grandparents, on my fathers side, came to the U.S. from Isle Verte, P.Q. Canada.

But before that, my great x8 grandfather came to Quebec City, Canada from France around 1630-1640.

My mothers side is also french canadian.
