Compared to some others, my family was pretty boring! My great-great-grandfather on my dad's side was a guard for the King of Prussia. I have the epaulets from his uniform.
Another great-great-grandfather emigrated from Northern Ireland with 7 brothers. They split up when they arrived in the US. My g-g-grandfather and one brother settled in Indiana. They never knew where the others went. I have a lot relatives out there I don't know about.
My mother grew up in a house that was haunted. My grandmother had a sister who died in the house at the age of 12. They would hear her singing upstairs in German. I got a chance to visit that house in May. It has since been torn down. Wonder what happened to the ghosts?
