I have never looked into it because I'm frightened by the gene pool surrounding me! Don't get me wrong, I love my family and think my immediate family is relatively normal (pardon the pun), but most of my family beyond that are a little off. I shudder to think what I would find beyond what I know now. Ignorance is bliss.
That being said, apparently I was a part of French Royalty in a previous life. How come when someone tells you what you were in a previous life you're never a street urchin or vagabond, you're always an important person? Oh wait, sorry for the hijack.
I do think what you are doing is a cool thing learning about your own family history. Probably cooler that you are using it to contact living family rather than just learning about those that are long past. Kudos to you. | |

| Genealogy....Your family Tree Posted: 5/15/2008 6:28:42 AM | I am tracking my ancestors. Got info from both sides and getting some stories of when they settled in Canada. ancestry.ca is easy to use to build the so called tree. Glad I started this now as people are getting older and I so want to have all the facts I can.
So far one side I have 13 generations..still working on some dates. Other side 6 generations.
Family from France to Quebec, England to Quebec...so very interesting. I suggest to all to get some info while you can! | |

I have a few famous people in there as distant cousins. | |
