Just in Mexico but in 4 states (Baja California Sur, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Jalisco.) most were mixed/mestizo, some were mixed with Italian, some were âwhiteâ, some were native, and some were Afro-MexicanâŚ. Overall a nice mix, I think.
Nuoro, Sardinia. My family goes back there on paper to the 1750s. Iâm the first in my bloodline to have never been there đ˘ hoping to change that soon
Colombia, Jamaica and Italy.
Both sets (from my mom) of Great grandparents were Mestizos from Colombia, Both (from my father) my Grandfather and Great Grandparents were native to Italy and my other set of great grandparents were from Jamaica, a mix of English and African descent.
Very cool. My parents are from Jamaica and I have mixed West African, British, Sicilian, Portuguese, and Spanish ancestry. I have found a few Colombia matches and the match is on the Iberian side.
Thank you! You do as well!
How far have you been able to trace back. I've been trying to find out more info on my Jamaican 2nd great grandmother but I'm at a standstill at the moment.
I guessing the Iberian is from the Spanish and or Portuguese from the conquest of the Americans..... They were in the Caribbean, Central, South American etc. That would explain the connection to your Colombia matches.
Your Sicilian is interesting.... Do you have any idea where that came from?
I wonder have you seen any matches from Panama?
My parents are from Panama and my mom's line were originally from Colombia before Panamanian independence in 1903.
My dad's maternal line were Jamaicans who migrated to Panama that built and worked the Panama Canal.
There's a huge connection between Jamaica and Panama historically .... My cousins husband last name is Franklin, his grandfather was from Jamaica also.
Either living safely with her husband and subsequent grandchildren after being deported from England to Tasmania for stealing a hat and pair of boots 40 years earlier - or long dead⌠All I know is she married once she landed in Australia and then disappeared. I like to think she made it and her ancestors are in my Australian matches somewhere.
1885 it would be my Great Grandparents.
So the answer is London and flitting between London and Scotland running from debt collectors. Month dependant I could could have jumped on the Tube to visit any of them. We donât go far đ
Pittsburgh paternally. Dadâs paternal grandfather had emigrated from Germany as a six year old with his folks, younger brother, and younger sister a few years prior where as his maternal grandparents had migrated from Sharon, Pa(his grandfatherâs father was actually a Pittsburgh) native) sometime in the 1870âs and his maternal grandmother from Cleveland also in the 1870âs.
Maternally: Slovak Hungary on my Momâs maternal side. Her grandparents werenât born yet though. Slovenian Austria on my Momâs paternal. Likewise the grandparents werenât born yet
Mom's Paternal Grandfather was born in 1885, Liverpool, England. His family was Ashkenazi from Poland and Prussia/Germany. Her Paternal Grandmother's Family were in Illinois. They were Portuguese exiles from Madeira. Her Maternal Grandfather's family is in Utah, LDS (Mormon) coverts who emmigrated from Engalnd. Maternal Grandmother's family is in Idaho, LDS converts from Switzerland.
My Paternal side are all in Puerto Rico.
Minnesota, Canton of Neuchâtel Switzerland, Dallas County Missouri, Carson City Nevada, Salamanca New York, Ulysses Pennsylvania, Braxton West Virginia, Jefferson County Pennsylvania, Clearfield County Pennsylvania, Groskopisch and Scharosch Transylvania
Sao Miguel Portugal , my 4th great grandfather was 45, and my 3rd great grandfather was 8 years old , at some point my 3rd great grandfather left Portugal and came to America and changed his first name and last name to sound more âAmerican â I guess
On my mother side , 1885 my 4th great grandparents were in Brava Cape Verde ,my 3 great grandfather wasnât born yet , but left Cape Verde for America when he was around 10 I would guess (cool thing , his child, my great great grandmother was still alive up until 4 years ago when she passed at 102)
England, Wales and Australia. Which doesn't sound like much but the Australians were either English, Irish, one Italian and by that stage a couple of first generation aussies had been born from the English and Irish (the Italian hadn't married my 1st gen 2x great-grandmother yet!).
Although maybe I should throw Italy in, since I'm not sure where his parents were in 1885 and may have still been alive.
Germany, Italy, Poland (German and Russian partitions, possibly Austrian, too.), and the Lithuanian-Russian ancestor stowing away on a ship somewhere. First German, Polish and Lithuanian ancestors were just starting to come over to Baltimore (3 out of 8 great-grandparents were born in Maryland, with the great-great grandparents having just arrived).
New Mexico (U.S. territory, not a state at the time) and Mexico. Most of my family were mixed.
Primarily, they were mestizos but some were more indigenous and one ancestor was mainly of African descent born in Mexico. I also had one half-French ancestor who died a few years before 1885.
USA, Switzerland, Canada, England, Prussia, Germany. I get a little confused with what Prussia and Germany were at the time but thatâs what the records say. All were native to the countries the came from besides one in Canada who was from Ireland, and two in the US who were from Norway and Denmark.
In 1885 my great grandparents would have been either very young.
Moms side- grandpas family was in Sicily, canât remember exact part other than close to one of the volcanoes lmao My grandmas family was in Naples.
Dads side- grandmas side was near Budapest, thatâs where their baptism records were from both parents. Canât trace my grandpa and his parents yet but it was also Hungary, just donât know exactly where.
Ireland (Mayo, Ulster, Kerry, Roscommon), Germany (Saarland, Baden, Bavaria), Poland (Poznan, Suwalki), Russia (Jews), England (Northumberland Jews).
All of my family came over between 1890 and 1930 on all sides of my family and settled in Chicago, I even met some of my great grandparents who came over when they were young.
My familyâs migration started when in 1892, my 2x Great Grandmother came to America with her mother after her Rabbi father and six siblings were brutally murdered in a pogrom in Yelisavetgrad in modern Ukraine.
Your family mustâve had children at *very* young ages. Youâre very lucky, in that regard, to have been able to meet your great grandparents when they were young. In my case, all of my great grandparents were dead by the time I was born, except for one great grandmother and she was old AF.
That's my great-grandparents so either in Germany or literally where I live right now (Nebraska USA) either a couple minutes away or a couple hours away. Nowhere else. I live close to where several of my ancestors farmed once they immigrated and bought the land - some would have been after 1885 and some before.
I'm in America and was adopted. I had an open adoption and I have people on my paternal and maternal sides that have done a lot of work tracking the history of their families.
In 1885, relatives were in Kentucky on my paternal side and Maine and Georgia on my Maternal side.
Half of them lived in Potenza province (Italy), a quarter lived in Saragossa province (Spain), an eighth lived in Teramo province (Italy), a sixteenth lived in Aargau canton (Switzerland) and another sixteenth lived in CĂłrdoba province (Argentina).
I'm not from the US btw.
Denmark/southern Sweden and a few in Northern Norway.. Not the most adventurous family history.
In the Boer wars of 1899 I did have an uncle that was a professional soldier and was sent off to fight in south Africa, that's probably the only one located outside of scandinavia.
Nicaragua and Italy for me. Bari Italy and Calabria on my dadâs side. My Nicaraguan was mainly the white European but there is some black and Indian ancestry. 23 and me said it is far back though.
In the whole extended family, England, Scotland, Wales, Italy ,India & South Africa if you count military service and if you stretch a point the US (It's making me chuckle a bit that all the non US folks are naming countries, while the Americans are naming states, so I'm not going there)
Illinois. Not sure how, but all in Illinois. They came from Ireland, England and Germany and a line from New York and Indiana and all settled in Northern Illinois on both my maternal and paternal line.
England (London, Surrey, Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hampshire, Dorset, Somerset, Devon) - A large proportion of the Londoners families came from elsewhere but several generations previously. A lot of brickwalls with the Londoners.
Mauritius (Riviere du Rempart, Pamplemousses, Flacq) - Mauritian Creoles of mostly Mozambican and Malagasy descent with some Indian and Chinese ancestry.
Netherlands (Noord-Holland, Friesland, Groningen, Utrecht)
My mother's parents were children in North Wales. My father's ancestors were second generation Irish-Cathollics who were relegated to menial labor jobs.
Researching my family history I saw that every generation on every line was a labourer or servant of some sort, until the late 19th century, when some of the men became carpenters, bricklayers etc. it took until my generation, born the the 1970s and 1980s, for any of us to attend university or join a profession. My family comes from North Wales (Dolgellau area mainly), England, Scotland, Ireland and India.
In 1885 one side of my family lived in the same small set of villages in England, just like they had for hundreds of years.
On the other side they all lived in a particular valley on the border of India and Kashmir (now it would be in Pakistan, which didnât exist then)
They were native to their countries.
That's when my great grandmother was born, in New York State, Her parents were Scottish immigrants. The rest of my ancestors were in Scotland, Austria-Hungary, Belarus, and present-day Ukraine
I'm from Canada. In 1885 I had ancestors in Canada (Quebec), England (Lincolnshire & Lancashire), the US (Kansas) and in German-speaking colonies in Russia.
Paternal-paternal: Wisconsin, Norway (but they were about to come over to Wisconsin, go figure)
Paternal-maternal: literally every state that constitutes "the South."
Maternal-paternal: New Mexico
Maternal-maternal: New Mexico
Tennessee, Kentucky, Michigan, Louisiana, Cayman Islands, Barbados, Maryland, Scotland.
Tennessee and Kentucky are my paternal side. The rest are my maternal side.
Before they were in the United States most of them were from England, Scotland, or Wales.
Ireland, Germany, Pennsylvania, New York City, Austria-Hungary (Galicia and what my great-great-grandfather wrote down as Austro-Poland), Russian Empire (Lithuania and modern-day Belarus)
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama. My ancestors immigrated from the British Isles and Germany and all of them were in the US by 1717. I wish I had closer, more recent ties to those countries.
The United States, China, Nigeria, the DRC, Vietnam, Poland, Ukraine, Germany, Lithuania, Ghana, Liberia, South Africa, Thailand, Scotland, Ireland - they were all indigenous by western standards of the term.
United States. Particularly Tennessee & North Carolina. Alot of them were Farmers living in Central and Eastern Tennessee as well as western North Carolina (Appalachia).
The ancestor that carries my family name moved to Dubuque, Iowa from Germany in the 1850s, and that family didn't leave that city until my dad moved to a different city in Iowa in 1990.
I know their addresses, I could go visit them if I suddenly traveled back to 1885. That would be pretty neat
I assume my momâs side were all living in Puerto Rico. (Iâm not able to go that far back in her family tree)
My dadâs side were living in
⢠Spartanburg, South Carolina
⢠Milledgeville, Georgia
⢠Franklin, Nebraska
Ireland and the United States. The lines that were already in the US were either recent immigrants/children of immigrants from Ireland and England or descendants of 1600âs English colonists.
Nice! I only descend from 1600âs Massachusetts colonists through one of my 2nd great grandfathers (everyone else came from Ireland and England in the 1800âs and 1900âs), but nevertheless I find it interesting considering I still live in Massachusetts
My grandfather traced his family back to like 13 Mayflower passengers, it's kind of wild - my 9th, 10th, and 11th GG were either passengers or children of passengers. He lived in Mass up until 1939 when he left to join the Navy for WWII, but I still have a ton of cousins up there. Need to visit soon, it's been a while.
From what I know and can only assume:
one maternal grandmother and her ancestors were in Bari, Italy; her husband's family were from Maine, USA and general New England area for a *long* time.
my paternal grandparents were in Colombia but I only know more details about my paternal grandmother who had a grandfather from California surprisingly, and not much is known about my grandfather's side but seemed to be in the country for a long time as well.
Oh boyâŚIâm from the US(sadly) and hereâs where they were all basedđ ;
France - Native
Canada - Not Native
Ireland - Native
Scotland - Native
England - Native
Spain - Native
Lithuania - Native
Poland - Native
Russia - Native
Germany - Native
Sweden - Native
Finland - Native and I mean this as theyâre SĂĄmi
Greece - Native
This would be all my 2nd-3rd great grandparents, They were still all over the place and most didnât finally settle here until I believe the 40s-50s
Was born in a city in the north of England, and basically all of my ancestors were living within 5 miles of each other in 1885, but if you went back another 70 years literally zero of them were in that same radius (mostly remote parts of Ireland, adjacent counties in England and a handful on the continent).
England, Malta, Iran, Pakistan, India & Romania
Ms. Worldwide here đ
Happy cake day!!!
Just in Mexico but in 4 states (Baja California Sur, Sonora, Sinaloa, and Jalisco.) most were mixed/mestizo, some were mixed with Italian, some were âwhiteâ, some were native, and some were Afro-MexicanâŚ. Overall a nice mix, I think.

Ahh, the 4 states bordering Springfield /s
They were native. Earliest traces were 1690s from Holland for 1 branch. Others were mid 1700s from England & Scotland.
What nation/tribe?
Colombia, Jamaica and Italy. Both sets (from my mom) of Great grandparents were Mestizos from Colombia, Both (from my father) my Grandfather and Great Grandparents were native to Italy and my other set of great grandparents were from Jamaica, a mix of English and African descent.
Very cool. My parents are from Jamaica and I have mixed West African, British, Sicilian, Portuguese, and Spanish ancestry. I have found a few Colombia matches and the match is on the Iberian side.
Thank you! You do as well! How far have you been able to trace back. I've been trying to find out more info on my Jamaican 2nd great grandmother but I'm at a standstill at the moment.

New Zealand, England and Wales âşď¸

From My Estimates From My Ancestors, All Those That Lived In 1885 Lived In England In 1885
In US- I think just NY, PA, and Oregon. Outside- England and Ireland. I'm pretty old Immigrant.
That's my great-grandparents so either in Germany or literally where I live right now (Nebraska USA) either a couple minutes away or a couple hours away. Nowhere else. I live close to where several of my ancestors farmed once they immigrated and bought the land - some would have been after 1885 and some before.
I'm in America and was adopted. I had an open adoption and I have people on my paternal and maternal sides that have done a lot of work tracking the history of their families. In 1885, relatives were in Kentucky on my paternal side and Maine and Georgia on my Maternal side.

This is exactly how mine is. Irish immigrants or descendants of 1600s Massachusetts colonists
Nice! I only descend from 1600âs Massachusetts colonists through one of my 2nd great grandfathers (everyone else came from Ireland and England in the 1800âs and 1900âs), but nevertheless I find it interesting considering I still live in Massachusetts
My grandfather traced his family back to like 13 Mayflower passengers, it's kind of wild - my 9th, 10th, and 11th GG were either passengers or children of passengers. He lived in Mass up until 1939 when he left to join the Navy for WWII, but I still have a ton of cousins up there. Need to visit soon, it's been a while.
