My FiL delved too greedily and too deep and found out the secret shame of the family.

They fought for the British in the revolution from Maine, then snuck across the border from Canada and re-settled in Connecticut under a new name after the war.

Prior to this, he took great pride in the family having fought in the revolution, real patriotic type.

the thing is it turns out the revolutionaries were a bunch of slavery-supporting tax dodgers so maybe your FiL's ancestors were in the right all along

My family's only notable relation is to Clark of the famous Clark and Lewis expedition.

Some people say the names the other way around but they are definitely wrong.
