family history

Both sides of my family were pioneers to our home town. One family arrived in 1881 and the other in 1889. the first branch came by wagon train and the second by Northern Pacific Railway. I am always looking for black sheep in the family tree or skeletons in the closet and I think I have found one.
Most of my ancestors were ranchers/farmers, business men and carpenters or livestock growers. But great uncle Matt ran a brewery in town and if that is the worst relative I can find I guess we were not too bad and have reason to keep our heads up high. I am still looking for more relatives who have a questionable background. I will let you know what I find.
