Agreed! That's why I said it always sparks a lively debate! I'm not chasing dead people...I'm researching my past and my family history and stories. I have no plans to contact my third cousin twice removed. I want to know my family branches on my side, and DH wants to know his tree as well. Both our sons are very interested also. One son presented a research project (as part of his graduation thesis)on his ancestors that tied into landownership, geology, and geography all based on my findings! I enjoy the journey.
