Many people start family history research BECAUSE they suspect something is wrong or bad and it has dogged their family for some time.
I doubt many people start family history research for that reason, some no doubt will but compared to the bulk of family history researchers the numbers will be few.
Absolutely & many are more likely to start family history research looking for connections to Royalty rather than 'because they suspect something is wrong or bad'.
