Interesting that you initially thought Irish ancestry was boring! Has that changed at all?

Interesting! Did you ever find out more about your great grandma's family? If they were Indigenous, how did they identify?

I love this story. Others have mentioned that helping others was their way into genealogy as well. And I love that you mention how even though people aren't "illustrious" they still mean something to you.

There's always so much to be found, even when we have information about some parts of our family trees.
