Do I know you?

Several months ago I started to put together our family tree and became obsessed to find all I could. Matt questioned my new passion wondering where it all came from. .. Since I am from such a small family (my mother was adopted) knowing all I could about our family and our history became a goal of mine. Several days and long hours later I found over 756 family members! It wasn't easy but most of our branches are now all the way back to their native land. 8 steps up on the Douglas side: John Douglas was from Glasgow, Lancaster, Scotand and on the Aswegan side, my great-grandmother, Elise was from Germany. While searching through my sites, I came upon her mothers immigration records as well and my heart skipped a beat with enjoyment!

First Name: Pauline
Last Name: Polzin
Ethnicity: Germany, German
Last Place of Residence:
Date of Arrival: Aug 22, 1893
Age at Arrival: 21y Gender: F
Ship of Travel: Weimar
Port of Departure: Bremen, Germany
Manifest Line Number: 0097

Through the search I also came about my grandfathers enlistment paperwork and that the Douglas family was married into Scottish royalty: the Dunlop's of Garnkirk. There are many other things I found along the way each one bringing happiness to my heart.
Then after several days of obsessing over finding more and more members of our family, I decided to call our tree complete. I branched out in so many directions to distant cousins of cousins of cousins and realized it was silly of me to find all of them so I told myself unless I find more direct branches: older generations making the 9 steps up 10 or new additions (marriages and kids) come into the picture I am done! While I wait to add on, the site myheritage, links me to other family trees from all over the world who maybe in our family making our tree bigger and bigger!
