someone on my dad's side did a book on our family, way back in the 80s. we also have the family bible which goes back to the early 1800s/ late 1700s. my uncle on my mom's side was big into ancestry stuff for a long time and researched that side fo the family in depth. and i am on ancestry.
on ancestry, i am almost complete Norwegian, Irish, and German. like 40/40, and 30. and my mom had told me when i was very young (in the mid 80s) that my dad's side was descendants of eric the red. ancestry.com said the same thing, which was interesting. my dad said when he went to europe that last time, he saw the house our family name started in, which the people told him was built in the 1400s. it looked a large shed, from the pictures, but they said that is kept original for historical reasons. there is also a castle buseman, which is part of the family, too, though still spelled the old way, bussemann
also, all the german and irish came from my mom as my dad and grandparents are completely Norwegian. my mom's side did own a brewery in ireland though. it used to be called berry brewery but i think it sold to another company about 5 or 8 years back. that appears to be where all the red hair in the family comes from as my paternal grandma said that side is all blonde.
