I've traced my Mother's Mother's lineage back to 18th century Pennsylvania via ancestry dot com, and this was verified by family records. Going beyond that is sketchy, though. I find some ancestors from Holland, Ireland, Scotland, England but with no hard evidence I can't be too sure. Tracing my Dad's side of the family back, I hit a brick wall with his grandfather. Nobody in the family has any info at all as to who his parents were.
