    Aye, and if it were easy for me to visit Aberdeenshire, I would be there in a heartbeat.

    My wife's been testing it out and spent 20.00 there over the last two days, she managed to take her family line back to the 1600s in a very short period of time traving 100+ ancesters. Doesn't help her entire mother's line and half her father's is scottish.
    I early on got a leap on her though, typed in Gambino to google with my great grandmother's name and her father and had 250 years of lineage in about 30 seconds. Just can't seem to trace the muir line here in the states.

    Whenever a visitor would make a comment such as this one, I would sometimes say:
    I used to be a fish biologist. While on the way to work one morning, I saw a marquee hiring night manager for a video store, the pay was $7,000 more than what I made. We have a running joke that we are the 53 lowest paid state in the union.
