I was lucky to have had relatives during the middle part of this century who recorded what they knew about their ancestors. So I'm off to a good start, but I find there are many pieces of this puzzle
There's a GEDCOM version of my family tree at Family Tree Maker.

I've always been interested in famous people that I'm related to. As a child, I was always told we were related to Emily Dickinson, Noah Webster and Hannah Dustin. So I've been doing research to confirm/deny this.
It turns out, my great-grandmother was not a close cousin of Emily Dickinson at all. While they were part of the same family that emmigrated to the US in 1642, Emily was from a completely different line, which made us something like 12th cousins, 12 times removed. However, it turned out that I am from the same line as Henry Clay, so he was something like a great-great-great granduncle.
The Webster relation is even more tenuous. One of my ancestors was a Greenleaf, and it turned out that one of her distant aunts married Noah Webster.
I haven't figured out the Hannah Dustin connection yet, but I hope it's there. She was definitely my kind of woman!
I just found an interesting familial link that I had no idea about until I was doing a little research on the Southwick line. My great-great-great-great-great grandmother was a Southwick, descended from some Quakers who fled England. It turns out these Southwick forebears had a descendent named Jenny Jerome, who married an Englishman and had a very famous son - Winston Churchill.
