I'm really fascinated in genealogy, mostly because I love history and am just interested. When I was a kid my dad bought me this replica NYC newspaper for the morning after the Titanic sank. There was a list of passengers that didn't make it, and I noticed one of them had our last name, which I think was where my interest in knowing about my ancestors started. Turns out I was indeed related to this guy. Ever since then I've always wondered-- what kind of lives did my ancestors live? What did they see? Where did they go? It's like a novel unto itself.
