It is interesting, but hardly the thing one should brag on. There's a saying in Alaska: "You can pick your weather going out but not the weather going home." In other words, if it's dangerously stormy you don't have to go out, but if the weather turns bad when you're out there, you don't have a choice but to go home in it. Same thing with ancestors. There is not a dang thing you can do about it. Short of avoiding their mistakes you can't undo your ancestors. But you can avoid their mistakes. I was quite amazed at what I found on the web concerning my ancestor. There is a lot because he was well known in his day. That doesn't change the fact that his second great grandson, my grandfather, was a complete jerk who left my grandmother when she was very ill and my mother was less than a year old.
