Too cool for subject

About 15 years ago I got my mom FTM - she never used it, and I took it. My son had a heritage project a couple of years ago, and while he was bored stiff, I got really inspired. Even with old software, I was amazed at how much I was able to find out. I can only imagine what new stuff is included in the current edition. And I think I got a 30-day free trial on Ancestry.com, which was extremely useful. Six months free - that's quite a gift. Have fun!

I am indeed having fun, thankee kindly, but it's such an eater-upper of time! Did you get back far? Find anything interesting? Mine is quite mundane and rather heartbreaking so far, but fascinating for all that.

Not too much interesting, although at this point it's mostly just names and data. For me, the most interesting things are on my husband's side of the family. He's Japanese American, and his relatives in the US had to go into internment camps during WWII. His father enlisted in the army and fought as part of an all-Japanese regiment in Italy. Nothing nearly so unusual on my mother's side. But still. Maybe I'll give it another go soon - as someone here posted, it really is a lot like crack!
