How far back can you trace your family?

My family's business over the centuries has been rose growers. When we arrived in NY my family set up a mile of greenhouses for growing roses. They employed Asians to work the greenhouses. One day a large box kite was constructed by one of the workers. The kite was large enough to fly a worker and they did. Unfortunate he fell out of the kite and crashed through a greenhouse window. He was ok after the incident.

At any rate, my great grandfather created a hybrid rose knows as the Schultheis Rose. Here is a picture and description.
