My fathers side is pretty good to early 1600's. My maternal grandfathers side is German and I suspect that they buried the German around WW1 when that side of the family suddenly changed from Haus to House. We found an album in my mothers effects that from the names in the album came from her fathers side clearly showing family members in Union uniforms in various PA unit insignia. Which is how I plan to track back; the units should have records but I have to dig in my brothers basement with a magnifying glass to get the exact units.
