I played with ancestry dot com last year and got pretty far with some notes from my maternal grandmother. I found the easy stuff but after that it took a lot of time for each additional ancestor so I got bored. I've considered hiring a pro and doing the DNA test but haven't followed thru.

I didn't find anyone famous or anything too interesting. There were a few interesting findings like first cousins marrying, ancestors arriving before 1776, and that my son is mostly Canadian.
