A picture of the grave of my 10th Great-grandfather and a founder of the town of Sandwich. Massachusetts.

@freemo That is so neat. To be able to trace your ancestor's history that far back, and that he probably had a very interesting life. Wow.

💚

@design_RG I can go way farther back, 1442 for sure, but even father than that though its a bit less certain.

My lineage is technically (though at this point im very distant) royalty. So by extension of that there is a lot in the history books about my ancestors that makes it easy to trace once you get back to the Armigers and all that stuff.

@design_RG Here is mention in the history books of one of my ancestors from 1442, a direct male ancestor.

Just wondering? If I may ask, have you had any reason to thumb through Nederlands Patricciaat? -- see nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederlan
