When I was growing up Mom carted this big briefcase around to all the family reunions. She was collecting genealogical data for the family tree. After graduating college one of my nephews got all into genealogy. He bought some family tree software and entered everything. Come to find out the software was sold by the Mormons and any data you entered was automatically recorded in their public database. So now all the family tree info Mom dug up is available in any of those programs or services like ancestry.com.

It would have been nice if Mom would have wrote down all the stories that got told as people talked about who was born when etc. I tried, but Mom was just focused on the who what born when to who info.
