On the Courtois side of my family I was able to go back as far as 14 generations, and I don't think my error rate was too far off based on the results I got previously that matched what my uncle found.
I really haven't figured out what to do with this new info yet, but between Ancestry.com and GRAMPS I am able to collect some neat statistics. like people with the last name of Courtois make up 8% of my ancestry database and there are over 200 unique last names in my database.
anyway, just wanted to post a little update.
