Pretty sure this was not the intended lesson

Things Liza has learned during her family tree project:
  • This would be a lot easier if our ancestors had had fewer kids (14 great-great aunts and uncles on one branch is a bit much to put on a sheet of poster board, especially when it happens in multiple generations and multiple branches).
  • Five generations of ancestors = a whole lot of people.
  • This would be a lot harder if Ancestry.com wasn’t a thing that I was willing to pay for this month so she can finish her project.
  • And it would be harder if I hadn’t started working on our family tree on Ancestry.com a couple years ago.
  • This would be a WHOLE lot harder if we didn’t have ancestors who were into genealogy back in the good old days of writing to churches asking people to go look for dates on stones in the cemetery.
