Is this how so many of us come up with 10 or 12 generations of family history
with not even one "bad" guy?

The Smith's were proud of their family tradition. Their ancestors had
come to America on the Mayflower. They had included Senators and Wall
Street wizards.
They decided to compile a family history, a legacy for their children
and grandchildren. They hired a fine author. Only one problem arose --
how to handle that great-uncle eorge, who was executed in the electric
chair.
The author said he could handle the story tactfully.
The book appeared. It said "Great-uncle George occupied a chair of
applied electronics at an important government institution, was attached
to his position by the strongest of ties, and his death came as a great
shock."
