i have traced mine back to 1700 but i was trying to get some information about the fiancee's family in the philippines but its a no brainer --i wont tell the full story but she was orfaned at 2 months old bought up my an uncle who actualy is not even a relative, her birth had not even been registered before her parents where killed so her uncle is on her birth cert as her father --ffs so her name is not actualy her real fathers name i am glad things are a little more straight forward in the uk
