What? STOP adding names to my family tree? I thought that was the point of genealogy work, isn’t it? Aren’t we all trying to find out if we have descended from a European King or have some link to royalty somewhere? Why should I STOP? When I was in my 20’s, pre-kids, living in
In an article by Andy Zahn addressing how to clean up and organize your photos, he describes perfectly our dilemma: Most people enjoy capturing photos, but few take any pleasure in the labor-intensive task of getting them into any kind of order on computers or other devices.
