Has anyone here ever researched their family tree before? I've always wanted to look into my family history because I barely knew my grandparents and they were all dead and gone by the time I was 16 so I've always had this desire to learn more about them and my great-grandparents etc... Any tips on where to begin? I've done a few cursory Google searches and a lot of what's come up seems to be either going to some facility in London or paying through the nose for very little return, but I've not looked into it properly...

Anyone got any interesting stories about distant relatives that they know about? Anyone related to anyone interesting?
