Has anyone here researched their ancestry? How far back were you able to go? I only got to my great great grandparents. My great grandparents signed the census of 1910.

On a side note, I am also researching the Jews from Spain and how they migrated to Latin America and the new world starting in 1492. 1492 was the same year that Columbus left for the new world and that the roman catholic inquisition was happening in Spain. Thus the reason for the Jewish migration to Latin America. There are serveral websites about crypto jews in Latin America. Two of my grandparents last names are listed as spanish jews from the records of the inquisition. Any comments?

ancestry.com is great and also cindyslist which may be spelled with a "y" instead of "i". It has been awhile since I have done any research. I love to do it, but it is very time consuming.

There used to be a chat room for generalogist that was helpful to ask questions from folks that do a lot of the research.
