Still researching and coming up with New Finds ...

My mother's side I am back to 1670 and probably to 1510
My father's side I am stuck at 1812 in London.  Its a common name and who knows where they came from.  Still looking though.  It takes about 2 years to go through everyone on one side of the family and I still come up with new information.

About 20 years.
My own Cornish roots I've got back to the 1450s, it turned out that both my maternal & paternal lines originated in the same village.

With my husband's tree I've got back to the 1700s on his paernal line. I've not had as much success with his maternal line so far, just back to the early 1800s & that has been a struggle.

I put 2 to 4 years, although I was first interested in family history about 6 years ago when I was 16, but for the first two years only really found out about very recent ancestors.

I've only been doing my own research for about 7 years. Since I got my own computer. But I've been doing family history with my cousin for over thirty years. She never married so was able to travel all over England and Wales to do her research of my father's side in person. I did some paper work with her and kept her up to date with my Mum's side of our family.
