that is so true. I have found myself reading stories of distant relatives and laughing. Ive also been spell bound by the fact that although my immediate family is not over achievers some of my ancestors were really go getters. My only problem now is finding correct information on my mothers side of the family. Seems my great granny lived "off" the grid before anyone ever heard about that...lol. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply to my question. I was somewhat alarmed that when I first began I quickly acquired hundreds of links. But I am enjoying it.
