Family Tree. How many generations can you trace your family back to?

[danny almonte 3]

We started working on a family tree last week by talking to some relatives and my family was able to trace my pops side of the family back 6 generations and mymoms side 5.

has anyone put together a family tree? if so what programs did you use (if any) and what methods did you use to get information?

my dad has gotten pretty far on his mothers side...almost to the slave owner...

i'm proud of him cuz i know his family isn't close so hopefully we'll be able to pass it down from now on so future generations can keep itgoing...
