Reply #4: I thought there was a DU Genealogy group [View All]

but I can't find it.

I know that Fudge Stripe Cookie is big into genealogy, though. You should look her up!

I think it's very interesting, but I've never gotten into doing the search thing myself. My cousin did a whole history thing but instead of just giving it to family, she wanted to sell it. :puke: I mean, if she wanted to recoup the cost of the research or something then say, I spent so and so getting this all together - then I probably would have given her something but to just up and say - Hey - here's your family history - that'll be $29.95 (or whatever it was) kinda ticked me off!

My husband started looking into his history when I was pregnant with our son. He did his surname back to the earliest settlers in the "new world". He also found out he had two older half-brothers he never knew about and that his dad was still married to THEIR mother and had never really married his mom. He stopped looking after that. :P
