I became interested in ancestry after seeing the commercials for Ancestry.com and remembering that my grandmother, Sara Maude Fisher Stairs had always said her son would be the King of England if not for one tragedy in the bloodline that had removed the family from their rightful place.   She was about as crazy as they come, but she was so adamant about it that I subscribed to the service to find out.  Turns out we do have royal blood, but I never had history in high school and am not sure what tragedy she’s referring to.  

 

Since there is nothing I could ever buy my dad, because he just didn’t want gifts, I would search out some member of his ancestry and print up a binder of genealogy and then stories from people in the chain for him.  He always seemed to enjoy learning about his ancestors.
