I was looking through this ancestry search engine at http://www.ancestry.cyclops.amnesia.com.au/electoral/ and found out that my great ancestors were workers at the qing dynasty treasury. Does anyone know what their ancestors did? Any criminals?

..my mother was a janitoress and my father was a drunk...their parents were farmers on both sides in the detroit area and pennsylvania...further back than that i have not been able to find...only to about the mid-1850's..

I know my lines in very different depth. One line is back to the 14th century (small German aristiorcracy) some lines vanish in the early 19th century.

All in all not much different from everybody elses I presums: a few aristocrats, a lot of craftsmen some public servants the odd child our of wedlock.

My ancestors founded a town in NW England around 1066 called Alston.

One of my ancestors came out on the first fleet as a convict from England .
Still retracing my family on my mothers side but it has gone back to England on my grandfathers side and Scotland on my grandmothers.

On my mothers side I am descended of one of the first 14 log cabin owners in Vermont. On my fathers side I am a descendant of Ethan Allen. Throw a few 19th century and early 20th century immagrants, and you get the glory that is me😀😏

One line on my father's side can be traced back to the Battle of Hastings.
My direct ancestor is mentioned in Shakespeare's Richard II.
My paternal great-grandfather was recommended for a Victoria Cross. He didn't get it, but he was recommended for it. (I now have all the family's military medals and I think a VC would look fabulous in my safety deposit box!)

One of my ancestors came over from Ireland, one step ahead of the law, never found out what he did but he got a large family going in the midwest, around 1800. Traced my Granma's name, McCart to about the year 700 to a king named Mac Art.

wow so many people here have been living in the us for generations. I rather have my parents moved to australia only in the last 30 years. Anyway did anyone find any discrepancies between what your parents told you and what the ancestry site resulted? My one was perfect. No differences

..i did..i found a space ship in the cellar and the name "jar-el" pinned to a red cape inside...i was afraid to go upstairs to the kitchen to tell them what
i had discovered so i just packed a paper bag lunch and took a bus to detroit...now i work as a porter at the airport...what i lucky break for me...my life could have turned out so different...next week my boss said i would get a raise to $7.15 an hour becuase i work so well ( i am really strong )...
