As far as I know my ancestors come from: England, Germany, The Netherlands, and Scotland.

On the maternal side, my mom belongs to
8-10 "A List" families in her native country.

It's very cool, but very confusing at the same time!

Most of my ancestors came from Germany, as evidenced by all our blonde haired/blue eyed family members.

Is genealogy a hobby of yours?

yeah, i don't see how you can know generation 100.

i only have a few lines known beyond 18 generations, and those birth dates are in the 1400s.

i have a 39th generation, Sveide Bjorn, who was born in 690. and one line that goes back 66th generations to a Godwulf, born in the year 80, but only because that single line crosses royals which is why someone kept track of it.

it's pretty hard to find any records before the 1400s, and like i said that is generation 18 for me, so i would also be interested to know how you are figuring that.

Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, and possibly Holland

Ancestry is Celtic and (some) Gaelic.

British, French on mom's side, just German (north) on father's side.

my father was first generation here in america from Sweden
and my mom was scotch/irish

on my dads side Greek Romaniote (if you dont know what that is click here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romaniotes


on my mom's side Czech (from my grandmother) and Austrian (from my grandfather)

but who knows where the family came from before that

England, Scotland, Ireland, France and Canada.

Just to add, me granny told me that me great great grandmother's dad was an Irish laddy's man!

lets see some from Ireland, one from germany, some from england i think
