That's really cool KC. I'd say keep track fo the family history. You never know if the next generation might be more open to your part of the family. Things do change. As I understand it, the descendants of Thomas Jefferson now accept the descendants of the children he fathered with his salve, Sally Hemings. It took DNA research to convince them after years of controversy, but they are generally accepted now as Jefferson's descendants.
I agree, this has been a REALLY interesting topic to follow.
