#70 - Genealogy

1. Sorry, I will not "create a free account" on any further websites. I really do not care if I look like any known celebrity, and I already know which parent I look most like.

2. I'm sure Footnote and websites like it are really helpful for people who are using the internet to search for ancestors and fill in family trees. I think it is great that people will post items for the public that have nothing to do with their own histories. My own family has compiled research and filled in the family tree back to the mid 1600's the old fashioned way - searching documents in libraries, court houses, churchs and cemetaries; and by visiting relatives both known and newly-found and adding what they know to what was already known.
