What a wonderful trip. My sister's husband just gave a book tracing back my family on my father's side and it was very welcome. I hope you can find some family.
Be sure to get some good travel insurance before you go. An amazing number of things can ruin a trip in an instant - I know! The best I have seen is from the industry leader, TravelGuard International - good quality at reasonable price. Go to http://www.wavehelp.com/travel-medical/index.htm and click on the red phone booth to read about "Worldwide Health" insurance. It protects against health issues as well as trip interruption or cancellation issues.
Best wishes.
