Our number 1 project, since August of 1995, has been tracking down our roots. You can see our efforts by looking at our Family Index (about 45K and in table form [takes a while to load]), our Surname Index (about 50K), or dive right into the Alphabetical List of everyone in our database. We're beginning to believe that some of our ancestors are aliens of the space variety. They've magically appeared in a location with no tracks as to where they've come from!
In addition to working on our family tree, we're trying to help the genealogy community in general. Some of our on-line projects are:
