Lapsody, how do you trace back to your family roots and the Revolutionary War?

I didn't. My sister was a history professor and she got into it. Before that, my Grandmother on my father's side traced it as she became a member of the DAR, and she registered my brother and I with the SAR, and my sisters with the DAR. So I'm taking both of their words on it - I haven't seen it. She had a workup on Ancestor.com for a while, but I'm not sure if it's still there.

There were pictures in my Grandma's house that showed ancestors that were Doctors in the Civil War and an old family group picture from the early 1800s with every one standing and a couple of Indian women squatting in the back ground. There is also a book that one part of the family put together. I had a copy and it disappeared in all my moves.

My ancestry sounds pretty normal until you get over to Europe where we're related to a Viking King.
