Congratulations, Dick, on being quoted in the Times. That's one for your Family Tree notebooks!!!!

My husband and I laughed when we heard about this article. I've been doing our genealogies for years, and realized early on that his ancestors and my ancestors were contemporaries in several different places, making it very likely our families have actually known one another over and over again. My husband's brother and his wife have discovered that they are cousins a few times removed. Yes, I think we're all related when it comes right down to it.

I loved your comment! Especially since I recently discovered that my son-in-law is related to my husband's daughter-in-law. My son-in-law doesn't like this person so when I toldhim she was his X-cousin X times removed, his comment was, "And, she can stay removed!" I love it!

Yes, this was a clever marketing gimmick, but really nothing more than a sound byte. Like they say "If you want your genealogy done for free...run for public office!"
