How Far Back Can You Go?

Even if genealogy is not really your thing, I think that everyone has to get at least a little thrill out of finding out information about their family's history. When it's something you have spent some time researching it's even bigger than that. On our father's side of the family, the Grubb side, we can trace the male line back 7 generations. While information like this, with names, birth and death dates and locations is interesting in itself, what really brings it to life is seeing the photographs of these relatives, many of whom were long deceased before you were even born. Photos bring so much more to the genealogical story by highlighting striking similarities among a family line including similar facial structures, body types, expressions, and even personalities! I think you will agree that there are amazing similarities in all of the aforementioned if you study these photos of 4 generations of Grubb men!
