This reminds me,
sitting in the darkened LDS microfilm reader room at Oshawa, Ontario,
many times. The volunteer, an elderly English gentleman, answered a
question and go, "heh, heh, heh" and utter a few additional
consolidating words, when a researcher questioned the LDS records,
learning an ancestor had married more than once.

This scene repeated often enough,
many to realise, think, wonder, 'let sleeping dogs lay', 'skeletons in
closets' etc.

The truth may be unwelcomed when it reveals hidden secrets, truths,
hard to receive. Today, we find other researchers, descended from the
same ancestor, actually part object of our work,in hope to learn new
facts, some not too impressive.

Yes, in my family too,
When I started with Paces of Gloucestershire, I had no idea there was
any connection but new researchers, facts, reveal their parts to the
puzzle, common surnames, origins, occupations, life's stories.
We're looking for the truth, sometimes abusive,
but revealing and often amazing.
