I got back into gen.

[Frustratedlady]

1. I had the same situation. I found an uncle had a divorce many years (and, 10 children ago)

which I'm sure his family never knew about. I am assuming it was after he got home from WWI.

The judge wrote that my uncle had been married less than 6 months and found that his "wife" was entertaining men unknown to him while he was at work. I figured he probably hooked up, literally, to a prostitute and didn't know she was a working woman, so to speak. You just never know what you'll run into.

On the other hand, I also found that if I follow back to Ireland/Scotland, my relatives were all royalty. Wish a few jewels had trickled down. I did know that my g-g-grandfather was the son of a Duke and the family castle is still standing and open for tours.

I also found that my grandmother's family in Sweden were so poor, they lived off the state.

Fascinating stuff.
