Times as they are today, it makes me wonder how long will it be before the government will get this info and how it will be used.
That's one of the main reasons I won't have it done.
I've done some fairly extensive genealogy work and I wouldn't put too much faith in what you've been told. I've helped other people with their genealogy work also and what is passed down in the family is often not what really is. It's changed in the telling or to make things appear a certain way, but often not true.
