One of the neatest things I've found so far in my genealogy research - which is very sporadic - is an online copy of a book done by a woman who must have energy to burn - she probably could have been the CEO of a major corporation with all that energy. She traced one family backwards and forwards through 12 or more generations - info on literally thousands of people, all related (Hepler is the last name). I was working on one great-grandmother and stumbled onto this book on-line. Found out that there is a Hepler family reunion every year in August in Pitman, Pennsylvania, so we went last year. Turns out Pitman is a tiny place in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country, and many of the people there were speaking German. My branch of the family went west to Indiana and then to Minnesota and North Dakota and Utah and spread out, but these people stayed put for generations.

One of the things they do every year is lay wreaths on the graves of the Heplers that fought in the Revolutionary War.

The woman who did the Hepler family tree did a lot of other family trees, for the interrelated families that stayed put. Maybe this was the only way she could get out of the house.:)
