I haven't done any genealogical exploring myself, though members of my family and also of my husband's family have traced things back. I have a great grandfather on my mother's side who was a musician, and I'd like to know more about his life.

I haven't actually checked my family tree, but Rutherford is a very old Scottish name, so I've probably got Scottish genes a few generations back.

My ancestors are Rajputs from Jaipur, a lineage of the royal family.

I've always been fascinated by family ancestry.

I know my father and my mother, but beyond that I cannot go. My ancestry is blurred.

There might well have been an Irish great-great-grandfather of mine back then in the 1800s.

I grew up in a world that was clannish - old Tasmanian-Irish families with big extended families.

My mother was from West Bromwich; my grandfather was Pakistani. I had an aunt who started trying to trace the family tree and stopped when she saw what turned up.

Every child growing up will look to their parents, my mother and my father. My grandmother lived with us. I picked up quite a bit of family lore and history from her, which was interesting.
