Researching your ancestors can lead you to amazing stories. What I found about my german ancestors, how they lived, what they did and how they came to America was astonishing. I had so much information through letters, book, memoirs and diaries I was able to write a book published on June 17, 2010: Forever Laced.

Looks like ti probably wont be relevant I haven't managed to get mine any further back than one generation out of Germany in the 1830s and the only surnames are Pietsch, Walter and Hull (Hell or Hall). Thanks anyway

@debby mil
OK, If you managed to follow your tree to Karl der Grosse (Charles the Great, Charlemagne)(It is thought all europeans are descended from him) then this book would help you but together a genealogy. Most of the info is general info back to yr 3. has lots of info on German kings etc. If you don't understand German it would be a waste of time, you can find the same info in the Wikipedia on line in English.
