That is thoroughly amazing, that they all came together and that they were all interested - especially since your family can trace their roots from so far back. I'd certainly be very interested, but even my first cousins don't know much, guess I am since I was particularly close to my paternal grandmother and I've even met my third cousins. My Irish side, who I know the best (my grandfather's family, which is weird since I never met him, he died at 48 when my Dad was only 12). But my grandmother kept up with them and I visited a lot of them with her. I went to a family picnic a few years back, know many of my Dad's cousins and one of them introduced me to a guy from my paternal grandmother's side.

The only cousin I have who is interested is my first cousin on my mother's (Polish) side, but that's tough since my maternal grandmother arrived by herself when she was 15 so I only knew two of my mother's cousins. My mother only had one sister and that cousin and I are the only girls, so we have a relationship though I'm in New York and she's in Colorado. She's attempting genealogy and figured I'd know more, I only wish now that I'd asked more questions when I had the chance. All I know was that our grandmother was the eldest in her family and that she had a twin who died when they were 7. And though both of our mothers were fluent in Polish, they didn't pass that on.
