Yeah, it is fun, and sometimes embarassing, sometimes rewarding.
I have one ancestor that died in prison for horse thievery, and another frantically rowed across the Missouri River with gunshots from the federal 'Revenuers' splashing in the water around him.
And one that is credited with saving the lives of several of his fellow soldiers in the Civil War through extraordinary courage under fire, then later died of an undisclosed disease in an Army field hospital.

We always thought great granny was Spanish, a bit on the dark side. You know where this is going. They put that on her marriage certificate for mixed race relationships where illegal in England in the mid 1800's. Especially caucasion to african black.
Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
