Funnily enough even though I'm American. We traced our family tree back to 835 AD on one side of the family, and 1650 on the other side. Both sides of the family were here in the new world by 1640.

I don't know why you got the downvotes, maybe I'm missing something. If that's true, that's pretty impressive to have that far back in some type of documentation. My surname trail goes cold after going from the US back to Britain in the early 1700s.
