Have had big shock, i am researching my tree and i am on my grandas family. My mum tells me his father tried to rape his wife (his daughter in law) if thet makes sense. I am not sure i want to carry on now, i was looking at his photo thinking he looked a sweet old man!!!!

Emma, you should not be swayed by what ancestors have done..........it is none of Your doing. we probably all have events that were not too savoury in the past.........press on.... regardless.......and be fruitfull........
