Sounds like a really interesting family! Fringe dwellers are always the good stories. My favourite is Jamie's great grandfather - or great great? - who was sent to Western Australia and Fremantle prison for killing his wife. He spent alot of time in solitary but when he got out became WA's first train driver - apparently. The best part of this story is that they didn't hang him because his wife was a nag and thus provoked him.
