Ever met your ancestors?
One of the most captivating and awe-inspiring experiences in my life was exploring my ancestry through the use of familysearch.org. The website allows anyone to search for an ancestor by name and then access genealogical information on several if not hundreds of generations back in history. I am somewhat lucky, as the website already has most of my ancestry data completed and recorded with no effort on my part. Others may find that there is missing information, but that is great because everyone can contribute the ancestry information they know to the database and make it more complete. I spent an entire evening digging through my ancestry, and it was amazing. I traced my ancestry back to dozens of royal couples. One of my ancestry lines even went back to the 1400's. If that doesn't impress you, then something is wrong with you. I'd encourage everyone to explore the website and learn a little about your ancestry, everyone who does will be impressed.
