My family's roots are in Ireland, France, Canada, and Germany.  The Irish side arrived on U.S. soil in 1840.  The Germans arrived in Maryland in the 1700's.  The group from France wound up in Canada in the 1650's.  The Canadians started coming to the U.S. about 1865.  Here are lineages of several of the different family lines.
