On my dad's side I got back to 1046 with one branch of my family tree. Not sure if it's accurate, but…
There was one point where there were like 7 guys in a row all named the John Woodbridge.
My mom was from the south, so couldn't get back past the Civil War with her side of the family. I'd see notes saying the records were burned by Sherman…
But the interesting thing was that everyone on my mom's side immigrated before the Civil War (who'd want to move to the south after the South lost the war?) and on my dad's side (New England) most of the immigration was in the 1600s, though my last name comes a series of 4 generations of grandfathers that seemed to keep going back to Northern Ireland in the 1700s and early 1800s to have babies.
