Ancestors

I have a good time looking for my Ancestors.  It is fun to collect them.  So far I am not nobility but there was a castle at one time that has since become a Bed and Breakfast with a haunted gate.  An Earl also graced us many years ago.  Now we have accumulated nurses, engineers, wood workers and numerous other occupations to be proud of.   We each had our own paths to walk and walk we do.  Not one horse thief graces the family.  There were plenty that had towns that were named after them.  Some were land barons and gave land to the community for churches and schools.  I have some who lived a mile away and am having fun finding them.  For anyone who says they want to find their roots - I say go for it.  Just watch the people in the cemeteries, they may try to haunt you.....
