re: Any of y'all into ancestry?

I've done research off and on for 20+ years. 95% of the things you do find are just a name/date, maybe occupation. Good interesting stuff, but not necessarily noteworthy. Ultimately, you answer one question "where did he come from" and get two more questions, "Now where did they come from". It is a never ending puzzle.

But that 5% have some fascinating stories. I have found great history, scandal, war stories, gruesome deaths, cowboys, indians, Patriots, tories, rich, poor, kings, beggars.

All this has given me perspective on both the past and the present.
