pretty far back, family tree maker is an amazing program though it didn't tell us EVERYTHING... On father's side, not so far back because of the fact he was BORN in germany! But on my mother's side it turns out we date back pretty far, IIRC one of my relatives faught in the "civil" war but not the revolutionary war. I think my relatives on my mother's side, one of them was born something like 1912-1918 (I can't remember) in the US.

My oldest sister traced the family back to at least the early 14th century the last time I checked (few years ago). She's still looking into it, so it may well be 13th or 12th now.
