Two thousand years!? Wow! That's really something! <majorly impressed>
We've only ever managed to trace my father's family back to about 1450,
which is a long way back by European standards. Although *technic'ly* the
family could, by way of an interesting ancestor, be traced right back to
400 CE or so :o).

If it's not prying, does your family scroll just give the names of your
ancestors or does it give more information about them, such as what they
did and where they lived?
