wow that is very cool. it must be fascinating to find out things about your ancestors. i used to work at an archives used mainly for genealogy and would leaf through some books when i was supposed to be putting them away, but i only knew one half of my family at the time, so it was difficult. the people who go there (the archives) seem to be obsessed with it. youd think theyd have found everything they could, yet they come back every week. one man was so old he couldnt speak anymore and shook all the time, but he still pored over old obscure books and microfiche at least once every two weeks.
