10-15 years ago I had a co-worker whose uncle or great-uncle (I forget) "fought for the Germans" in WWII. I helped find the family member, we even found a picture of him!
In his SS Sicherhiestdienst dress uniform. My man was a no kidding war criminal.
Genealogy is fun.
On one of those survival shows on TV one of the guys said, "nature is neither for you nor against you; it just 'is'". Genealogy is the same. The only time I take pleasure in finding skeletons is if someone deserves it. I had a very racist cousin, hated black people, our tree not only had slave owners, but also cross-pollination with blacks. He refused to believe 'our' family had, uh, intimate relations with non-Caucasians.
