Genealogy
A few years back I did some research into my family tree, on my father's side. It was a fascinating and rewarding journey. I learned a lot of things about my ancestors, and myself, in the process; one of my great uncles was a priest, one a professional boxer, and another fought against the Germans in World War I.
I highly recommend this exercise to anyone who's interested in their family history, and their roots. With the continuing development and deployment of information sources and databases on the Internet, the task has become much easier now than it was in the past.
