I can't wait to do this with my family. I wish others would take initiative into doing so as well, especially the prejudice. :)

Tell me about it. Two years ago I said "Well I'll just do my grandma." Well that turned into my great grandma and my great-great grandma and back more. One person turned into over 500 people...one one side.

Family History is so addictive. Our ancestors lives are fascinating and often can be inspirational. I have ancestors who toiled on the land as agricultural labourers in Devon, England and those who lived in castles in Scotland as Lords. They are all important to me and it makes me shiver when I think that their genes have been passed down to me.

@fancifelle The census was notorious for that, especially if people were immigrants in gthe early-1900s (like my ancestors).
Wow! David's ancestor was a scribe for Martin Luther? That's a great find! This is a very good presentation on how genealogy makes you feel and how exciting it is.

One helpful thing is to realize people may have mispelled their name on ship records, or changed their name on the arrival/ship for various reasons. This happened with one of mine. Another dead line was reawakened when I saw that a census had their names mispelled.
