Anybody here into it?

There’s more than a few on this forum that have the exact same genes. Amazing coincidence!

On a serious note, I’m not but my mum was. She passed away last year and has a whole drawer full of notes and stuff about relatives of ours that we have all over the world. It’s one of the things my sister and I have not disposed of but it’s going to be saved in case our children or grandchildren ever want to take it up.

The best starting point is family knowledge. Plus there is always (usually) someone in the extended family who has done a lot of research. I got back to Oliver Cromwell that way but bear in mind there are dozens of potential lines when you are that far back.
