Great site!
February 26, 2010

Great site! I highly doubt I am related to anyone famous but I can see the appeal of this site. I can only trace my family back a couple generations and it would be nice to see exactly where everyone came from. Not sure how accurate it is but would be worth the small price of admission to find out.

I saw this review and checked out the site. Now I'm trying to see if I'm related to anyone famous from way back when... sort of cool to see if perhaps you are related to some big names.

Everything you see on the TV ads and internet ads are right on the money. I love this site.

As a Genealogist myself, I use it all the time and I've located some wonderful things on my own family. Draft cards, census, phone book records, it's all there. The little leaves that are used as hints are just fantastic. I actually saw my Grandfather's signature and personal information on his draft cards and I've connected with family I didn't even know I had!

It's well worth the money and they've got different plans to suit everyone. They offer a free trial and if you join you even get more access. Give it a shot. You may be related to someone famous or someone right around the corner that you didn't even know about!
