I was working in mine last year but then got on to other things. Traced both sides of my family back to 1500's. I've got ancestors who were burned at the stake (he was a preacher who spoke against Catholic church), another ran off and left his wife and son to die of starvation in Windsor Castle as prisoners. Irish, English, Scottish, French, German...There were more interesting characters in the family history, but those are two that really stuck with me.
