Be careful of this genealogy work, its as powerful an addiction as kilts.

I started back in the '70s and still have the bug. Have been lucky in the documentation dept. But oldest lines go back to the 1500s.

Like Gilmore says, we've a bazillion ancestors. Both my parents lines go back to the same three families aboard the Mayflower, making them 13th cousins. My mother was joyful when I found that. She said now she could get an annulment after 35 years of marriage.

I like genealogy since many of my ancestors were Scottish, Welsh, and Irish, giving me a solid excuse to buy more kilts!

Have met lots of online cousins and been able to share lots of actual documents handed down to me through the family.
