I don't see why not. As the daughter of a farmer, I would very much like to know what sort of crops or animals many of my farming ancestors had on their 130 acres (or whatever size is mentioned for veracious people in various census records) I also know that although my family don't appear interested for the most part, things like this add detail to the story and will get some of them interested, prompting them to ask questions, leading me to look for new data. I saw yes, take some time to find out out what the families farmed, I know I would if I had access to those sources. Kathy
