Re: Have you uncovered any surprises while researching your family history?
Someday I hope to find out where my ancestors all came from. Considering my family name, I just might be related to some families of a couple of big name companies out there. There are other things that contain my family name like a town, a river and even hospital. I'm sure I will find others.
This has been on my list of things to do before I die. My mom wants to research the family, too.
My grandfather was a very interesting person that played in a band years ago. They were quite popular back in the day, at least in Wisconsin. They once had a chance to go out to California to open for Rosemary Clooney, but couldn't afford the travel expenses. There are many stories about his band and he was quite the clown. It got him in trouble a few times, too. Either my mom or my aunt has a scrapbook of his somewhere. I've been asking to see it for years as I want make copies of everything and get it printed. I've only seen the scrapbook once and it was briefly a long time ago.
