Research my ancestry

Today instead of doing homework, I created an ancestry.com account and started researching my family heritage. I specifically focused on my maternal grandmother's side of the family, because I already knew enough about that side that I could fill in a few names to get me started. I found out that her dad's side of the family is almost exclusively German and Norweigan, with a little bit of French and Danish. I'd already known that, but it was cool to see when everyone arrived in American. My grandma's mom's side of the family was more difficult to trace. They're Irish, and I already knew that, and I also found that there's a bit of German there, too. The most exciting thing I found, though, (which neither me nor my grandma knew about before), was that on my grandma's grandma's side of the family, we have ancestors who have been in America since the 1650's! They came from England way back when America was still a colony of England. That's pretty exciting! It's also taken me hours to find, which has helped procrastinate a lot.
