Question

I come from a long line my dad told my mum- where next?

Answer 1

A long line of what?  Are you looking for ancestors?

Answer 2

and if you step out of line god help you

Answer 3

Everyone comes from a long line of ancestors.

Usually though the lack of records to prove it is the largest problem.  I come from a long line of agricultural labourers who trace back to Essex to at least 1538.  That is when records fail me.   I also come from a long line of blacksmiths who trace to near Dundee in Scotland back to about 1790, but alas, again, records fail me at this point.  And believe it or not, I also come from a long line of fishermen from near Folkestone in Kent who go back to the mid 1700s, but once more, records just fail me.  Although I undoubtedly have ancestors further back then this in a really long line back to the Anglo Saxon era, Ancient Rome, Greece and Egypt or even Adam and Eve (if you believe in that kind of thing), I will never be able to prove it.

What exactly are you hoping to prove?  A long line of what?

You'll have to be a bit more precise and clear about your question.  What do you want to know?

I'll bite.. here is a guide to tracing your family, if that is what you meant to ask.

If the "long line" is a thin thin story that dad told, to gain mom's affections... nope, can't help on that.

tip for the day.. you always find more info, when you are real clear about what you want to find.

Answer 7

As does everyone and everything in existence. Technically every living thing can trace back to the first living organism.

So, what is your question?
