I've been messing around on the Ancestry.com thing for the past couple
of days and was able to trace back, making all the intermediate
connections, to a 9th great-grandfather.

He's on my mother's father's side who's family originated in France.

The dude I found was named "Pierre Martin Pelland" and lived
from 1593 t0 1656.

*That* is a long time ago ..... back in the latter days of
the French Renaissance, if I am not mistaken.

Most of my ethnic origins are from Sweden and Norway.
My mother was about half Swedish by ancestry and the
rest was Irish, British and French.

My father was strictly Sweden and Norwegian.

I was just curious how far back I could trace the French connection.

I guess you paid the extra hunday for the European connections. I was
happy to stop at the boat. That still gave me the birth place in UK
where most of my peeps came from.

No. Funny thing is, I don't even have the full US subscription.
As I add and confirm people who are ancestors, often another
box will pop up with a potential relation going back further.

You can confirm by matching birth and death dates and to whom
*they* are related.
