Question:

I've found out that my great*3 grandad hit his wife on the head with a scythe nearly killing her and was in

Broadmoor prison for the criminally insane for over 40 years.
Has anyone else had any shocks or suprises with researching your family history?

A while back, I helped one lady with her research, and in the process located a descendent of the guy who murdered her ancestor in the 1870's. It turned into a healing experience for both.
I think there are skeletons in every closet, and wonderful people descend from them.
