When I was about 20 my great grandma died at something like 98 (can't remember exactly). 2 years before she passed away she got together with all her family and wrote a family history detailing when they came over from Ireland, where they lived, and how they lived. It was pretty cool, apparently they used to live in sod houses and hide in the cellar from the indians every once in a while when something was going on.
Pretty fascinating, really.
