I started researching my family history after receiving a packet of family information.
So far on the Romp side of the family I only go back 3 generations to John Romp and Emma Raymond.
The Lott side of the family I have a huge amount of information gained from two relatives.
The Jordan side of the family only goes back 3 generations
The Larsons go back 4 generations to Stockholm, Sweden.
On my wife's side of the family so far it goes back 2 generations. Dameron side goes back to OK and the Walsh branch goes to Ireland. The Swift branch goes to Germany.
Here are some of my favorite websites:
