After some work (shit gives me a headache) I traced us back to 1400s Scotland (Inverness) and 1522 in Germany. Pretty much what our family tree says. Always liked seeing those leaves pop up, though....

Yeah, I hear ya. way too much time spent in late night exploring the family leafs. We white guys if we can get back to England will find we are the ancestors of Kings or Lords. Mainly because they were the ones documenting christenings, marriages, wills etc. that prove they get to keep their wealth and privileged lives. Farthest I've got back was 1122.
