Interest in genealogy and family history is often piqued by stories of an ancestor who stepped outside the norm: from the Swiss immigrant who stowed away on an Americas-bound ship, to the great-grandmother who was a notorious moonshiner, to the two brothers who stoned a man to death in a fit of drunken rage.

Once curiosity in these ancestors arises, it is often hard to quench, and can lead onward in an ever-mounting desire to deepen our knowledge and understanding of who these people were and how their lives influenced our own. Even those ancestors who lived seemingly quietly in the shadow of history's footsteps have much to tell us.
