The Net has created monsters. Genealogy sites have multiplied like fleas. It is
a real plague out there.
I have been around the world several times; been shot; blown up; have a
wonderful family; own a successful practice; and try to ask myself when
irritated on the net "What would Jesus Do?"
It is a pleasant enough pastime; however, it is not all consuming and too many
take genealogical research on the net much to seriously.
Who cares if you are a descendent of William, Duke of Normandy, two millionth
removed. I have a better lineage. I am direct descendent of my parents!
So just keep on truckin and get a grip on reality, Jack Allen Norton Fergusson
