Has anyone here ever delved into their family history?

If so, what did you discover? Were there any mysteries, or were the lives of your ancestors pretty normal? What sort of jobs did they have?

I'm just going through the process of finding that out now. A friend of a friend works on Family Histories frequently! There have been a couple of mysteries so far, but they may yet be solved through research. Still, learning about your roots is absolutely fascinating!

I'll post about my family in a little while; just thought I'd get the ball rolling!
