If you have a Revolutionary War ancestor, you can join the Daughters of the American Revolution (yes, I know they have a reputation for being snooty, but my aunt joined and she was the antithesis of the stereotype). She also joined the Mayflower Society. One or the other provided her with Ahnentafel charts that trace our family's ancestry on my father's side back to the late sixteenth century (with gaps for some of the branches), including three Mayflower ancestors and two Revolutionary War officers. My most notorious ancestor is Martha Carrier, hanged at the Salem Witch Trials. Her husband, a giant Welshman who lived into his eighties, is reputed to have been the executioner of Charles I. No idea how to trace my mother's side, which looks to be much later English and Irish immigrants. (Another Carrier descendant claims to have Elizabeth Woodville as an ancestor. Fortunately, he's descended from a different Carrier son!)

I think it gets very murky for any of us to really find those ancestors. Yes, we are DRT material through the maternal side, the O'Quin's. I haven't done that. That group came to Texas with Stephen Austin, but snooty does not even begin to cover those Daughters. So, I am content to be just me.
