stgulikI must have accidentally spoken aloud my wish for a new hobby, because the universe answered and a potential hobby has come to find me.
Is anyone here involved in genealogy? It looks fun. What are your experiences? Is it really possible to get all the way back to the Mayflower, as it were?

She should also be able to help you map out a rough family tree going back at least three generations, and hopefully more for starters. Make sure you get as many aunts, uncles and cousins in each generation down too - sometimes, when you hit a dead end, you can trace back through a more distant relative and get back on track. Scandals are always good to get down too - often it's the rascals in your family history that you enjoy the most!
