Have names and approx dates as far back as around start of 1800s for my family name. Probably mid 1800 for my mums side.

On my Family name side, my Gran before she died was able to tell me so much detail on both my Grandfathers side, as well as her own, in terms of just names and dates, and appox places of birth.

Learnt that one of my distant relations also fought in The Rising, and was executed for his part in it.
