Thank Bodhisattva for that.

Peace.

Awe, c'mon. You know you love me.

Anyone tried this Ancestry.com thing?

Is it some kind of a rip-off?

I did this 15 day trial thing...just to look up my great-grandfather who was killed before my grandmother was born and found some interesting shit, like his draft registration card from 1917. That much was legit.....it was when I dug deeper into the family roots that things seemed a little phony. Anyone else tried it?

My parents and a brother are into that stuff. Personally, I don't find it too useful other than being mildly interesting.

I have found out that I'm related to the first guy to get hit by a car and die in Buffalo, NY though.

Oh, please. You can't even rhyme.

I'm more of a prose guy anyways...

Once I was into some unfamiliar names, I lost interest myself.

There were a bunch of one-name individuals beginning in the 1830's. People with no last names....not sure what that was all about. That's what made me think it was just a scam.

If it's a genealogy site, more than likely it's a LDS church recruiting tool. Give them your address, and next thing you know, there will be a couple of young dudes in white shirts, ties, and bicycle helmets knocking on your door with Books of Mormon in hand, willing to tell you about Elohim, our Heavenly Father's plan for your life.

And then they'll baptize all your dead relatives by proxy, so you might as well be Mormon yourself, because all your ancestors now are.
