    Hi friends, my family history has some nobility tittle by the tree of my father. My father had a uncle that was Duke on S.XIX-S.XX, the surname is De Quirós. My mother told me a time ago that my father´s family knows that they are descended from the Visigothic King Witiza,but i don´t sure about that idea is true. I´d like to investigate that, but i think that to make that investigation i need contracting some specialist in genealogic trees,or Heraldic...if you have some idea,please tell me. Thanks,thanks,thanks

    Hmm, honestly, my family geneology is fuzzy at best. My mom's side can be traced back to the daughters of liberty, it would seem. However, my dad's side, which is of German origin, I have no clue as to where they came from. The only thing I really know about my last name is that it is apparently also Germany's oldest gin. At least, according to the advertisement...http://www.internetwines.com/rws16306.html
