Family Trees

Decided to start a blog on my family tree. Not sure how far I'll get as it may be difficult tracking my mum's side. She had an interesting upbringing. It was like something out of a historic novel. She was born 'out of wedlock' to a servant working at a local manor house. It appears her father was the son of the household. She was not fostered by what I knew as my grandparents although Mum discovered they'd been paid to take her. She then got to mix with some of the more affluent members of the village and was encouraged not to play with the local kids. Later in life she was told that those well to do members of the community were friends of her father's family. On my father's side, his family way back in the early 18th century owned a large hall and masses of land at Crown Point. Unfortunately, somewhere along the line, the money disappeared but we do know that someone from the Money family moved to Canada ... a place called Crown Point! Does anyone else out there have any interesting ancestors?
