I would think that could be interesting. One of the channels had on a show, "who do you think you are?" I think that's what it was called. I'll have to look it up. Haven't seen it in awhile, not sure it'll be back.
Anyway, has anyone done the Ancestory.com thing, Or had them check your blood for nationality ID? Latter one is new to me. Still I wonder and the expense too?
Just curious.

I have been researching my family history off on on since 1985. I'm currently a subscriber on Ancestry and have had my DNA. DNA results were surprising for me, so I totally recommend doing that and your family members
It is a huge puzzle and fun to put the pieces together.
I recommend going to www.familysearch.org and starting there as it is Free Site. Hope you try it and have some fun. I pay 19.95 a month for Ancestry

You might want to check out this recent thread. It discusses most of your questions in detail.

No. I do not like my immediate family let alone want to search for ancestors.

I really enjoyed watching that show you mentioned - Who Do You Think You Are. I hope it comes back!
I have done a little research on my family tree but nothing intensive.

I did but I found so many sad sad sad things that I stopped. Like my Grand mother's grandmother had 11 children - and 7 of them died one winter when they caught scarlet fever. Can you possibly imagine that? On the other side of the family - I found out my great grandparents and their children, including my grandmother, had to go to the poorhouse to live for a while. Actually my great grandmother died at a place called Little Sisters of the poor and is buried in an unmarked grave there, and I have been unable to find out where her husband died - I can't find any records. My grandmother had 2 children who died as infants from malnutrition. I guess she didn't have enough milk to feed them. I know my father's family was extremely poor when he was a child, during the depression. So, in the end I just decided it was too much information and just made me sad so I stopped looking.

I'm not overly interested either. The DNA commercial is stupid IMO. We have a lot of family tree stuff all the way back to the Mayflower. John and Priscilla Alden are direct decedents. That did get my sister a part in a play in school. LOL

Way back in the "Roots" days I took a class called "Finding your Roots". It was ok,but both sides of my family have all been good about ancestry. One of the things the teacher said was that we all had Indian blood in us. I told her that unless there were Indians running around the island of Sicily I did not.

My grandparents came from "the old country" and the places they were born don't even exist anymore.
My grandmother came here by herself from a small farming village in the Ukraine after she came back from the fields and found her family killed. She wouldn't tell us anymore than that.....
