Not nice stuff: Well, since my brother is fitted for an orange jump suit in several states, but hasn't quite had to wear one (two of three strikes before he is out), and my family would be fodder for a Gerry Springer show on most good days (Mom raising her granddaughter due to drug addicted birth mother, etc...), I can't think of much that would shock me at this point. I also feel we don't bear the "sins of our fathers", so even if someone in the family years ago had a horrible past (was found to be Jack the Ripper), there isn't much I could do and it really wouldn't affect me much. I know back into Great Grandparents and little further back we are fairly OK.



Medical: I'd like to know. Many things are passed thru our family (Breast Cancer on Maternal side). I think medical history is good to know. Too many generations back, probably won't matter as much as Grandparents, Parents, Siblings, Aunts/Uncles, Cousins... More direct line. I pretty much know the history on the maternal side, father was adopted.
