A HUGE family!

No matter what family you belong to, there are numerous other family lines attached to your ancestry.  For every set of grandparents that you have, the number doubles as you go back each generation.  Just 10 generations back, you have a total of 1024 -  8th great grandparents.  Now that is a lot of family!

On the Keller side of our family, I can only track 17 of these 1024 - 8th great grandparents.  The time period that this relates to is in the mid 1600's mainly located in Switzerland and Germany.  Wow, only 1007 more 8th great grandparents to find.  That is 17 surnames to research further.  Those names included: KELLER, SENN, HILDEBRAND, STIFFLER, HOTTEL, LNU, LEINBACH, KLEISS, FREY, LEVERING, NEUN, HOFMAN, REDMAN, NOLAND, CONNELL, SMALLWOOD and GARLAND.  And to think that if I should go back 20 generations that would be more than a million ancestors to locate.  21 generations, more than 2 million, 22 generations, more than 4 million, 23 generations, 8 million, etc. etc. etc. . . . . . . . . . oh my!
