I found some 'scandalous' details on my 19thC family - which I loved and so did those of my family who were interested in my research. As someone else has said, these things have made the individuals much more real to me. However I have not 'shared' these with my rather 'proper' elderly aunt, neither have I disabused her of the idea that we were descended from a famous London figure - why spoil the illusions of a life time! Oddly enough she really is not that interested in my research anyway, and was far more interested in the fact that I had bumped into someone in the Essex Records Office who went to school with one of my cousins!
