In my case, the shoe's on the other foot ... I'm a grandmother, rather than an uncle, and sadly I have nothing approaching a million dollars. But I do have a treasure trove of family history waiting to be shared with my grandchildren. I hope they ask fairly soon, or I'll be forced to inflict it on them uninvited! That was a nice article; thank you for sharing it. Ah, it’s interesting to read these comments from those who failed to ask.

Seems that I either had an ancestor who looked angelic or, possibly, played an angel in a religious pageant. I should talk with him a little more, although I suspect there's no million dollars waiting there for me! According to an uncle of mine, our family name (Angel) dates back to Middle English.

But by then it was too late. I have very little knowledge of our extended family, and nor does my brother. I wish we'd had the foresight to think about this years ago. Your article's terrific, and I hope it acts as a spur to others to get as much info about their families while they can.

It's really got me thinking especially about it being a change of attitude. I don't have a rich uncle or a million dollars but for me, researching my family tree has no price tag. It's priceless.
