Yes it is amazing we are all here. What's interesting is our particular
family (and probably everybody's on this list) branched out to the Kings
of France, Scotland, Spain, Germany...etc. Someone once said to me
"so...big deal...we all are"...but no, we all "aren't". I have learned
more history doing family research than I ever did in school, and I find
it fascinating. When I add someone to the tree, I look them up
simultaneously and if there are pics available I add those, if it shows
what castle they lived in, I add that also. I have to usually call my
18-year-old college student son to find out which war I'm reading about
though. :)
