Finding your ancestors can be a great gift to hand down to your children and grandchildren. For me it was like a treasure hunt and nothing surprised me more than to learn my maternal great grandmother was listed on the Choctaw Nation in Oklahoma. I found that my paternal great great grandfather ran a hotel in Illinois and his parents were from Hempstead, NY. There are many family members that I never knew and I'm anxious to track down their decendents.
Now I want to physically go to those places and see where my ancestors lived.
