It's useless for me anyway, since I was adopted at birth, I have no history, supposedly I am a new england wasp, but that doesnt add up, but they were strict with that shit when i was adopted catholics with with catholics, jews with jews, wasp with wasp. Only thing I know for sure is my birth mother was lazy whore who didn't need a kid :D

Yep, assholes that say shit about your family are probably intellectually unable to come up with anything else to push your buttons about.

that's why they are on ignore.

I know I have said things about Palin, I think most was in hope she would better than what we have, big disappointment and I think the left media bashed the shit out of her more than they would have to a man, kinda fucked up. Bachman I know very little about and don't really care to learn more about her.

When my grandmother passed on a few years back, I flew home to NJ and introduced to this cousin. Seems I was the missing piece of the puzzle - She knew about me, but the only one who knew me was my grandmother.

I learned a lot that day, including the fact that I'm Irish. Surprise.

Was she hot?

I was told by a Mormon (LDS) friend years ago that Ancestry.com is run by the Church of LDS. You can fill out cards with your friendly neighborhood Mormons and get the same result - but that comes with the usual recruitment solicitations.

My GF uses it and likes it a lot.

I've used both, and Ancestry has way more sources of information available. It really isn't the same thing, not even close.

I would be very careful using services like that,

always seemed a bit off to me.. like it was "government sponsored".

Big brother is watching you.. and all your dead relatives.

My family actually kept records. Weird.

acctman 08-22-2011 08:08 PM

So there is 1 hoe (Eve) who started this all

Yeah I think they just took familysearch.org (the free directory from the mormons) and made you pay.

well i was browsing the 1881 UK census the other morning, very interesting, stuff that none of my living relatives could tell me.. so these sites are good for getting information, but stick to official records.

It's not a scam, but is costly
 
Mormons want to include every relative back to Adam so they can be retroactively included in the church and go to Heaven.
Site is pricey, but does offer 30 days free.
I used it a few years ago, as the company I worked for had over 5,000 uncashed payroll checks, from a company they bought out. Did a lot of research there, including old census records. Was able to prove one retired woman who was never married, so no question of a spousal claim, had been issued 84 monthly retirement checks, after she had died. Checks were never cashed, but still have no clue what happened to them. Once I proved we issued checks to the dead, we weren't required to escheat the money to the state unclaimed property office. Saving that $40,000 more than paid for buying the membership.
